New wheels, what do ya think?
 

Finally got my new wheels put on. So what do you think?

Rears are a 15x8, and the fronts are a 15x3.5.

and yes before anyone asks, they are street tires. The "show" was a little more affordable and practical than the "go" was lol.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

It LOOKS go!:THUMBSUP: I like the wheels.

Hard to tell from the pics how much gap is in the wheel wells? I assume it's not too much?

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

What bs did you use

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

Thanks thats what i was looking for lol. No its not much room lol i used a 275/60-15 firehawk and oddly enough they seem to hook better than my nittos did, and those were D/R's.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

Unfortunatly i dont remember the backspace, the wheels are summit fastfives, and on the rear i had to use a 7/32" spacer and the front i had to use a 1" hubcentric spacer, and had to grind like a half inch or so off the studs.
There is a thread somewhere on here with the links to the wheels at summit and all the stuff you need if your interested.

that looks tough as hell:THUMBSUP:

im getting the knock off drag lites someday..

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

Well it was a whole hell of alot cheaper i can tell you that much.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

I like it, very clean car and it's unique.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

It'll make people be scared of your car on the streets! Does look tough!

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

Looks great. Did you have to do spacers in front and rear???

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

are you running spacers on the front to clear the brakes or did you change to gt brakes? looks awsome btw!!!!:THUMBSUP:

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

Yes in the front are 1" hubcentric spacers and the rear is a 7/32" spacer you are "suppose" to have to grind off part of the banjo bolt to get them to fit but for some reason i didnt have to. I guess every mach is differant.

and to answer the other question no i didnt switch to gt breaks i still have the stock mach 1 breaks all the way around with no clearance issues of any kind, and i didnt have to roll my fenders either.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

Thanks for all of the comments guys and gals i appreciate it.

I have the Jegs version of those in my garage. Are putting the lugs on a PITA? On mine it looks like the holes are too small because they use such a large center cap. They only socket that I can use is thin wall 3/8 deep well. I'm also using 3/4 hex lug nuts which are smaller than the standard 13/16 for 1/2-20 lug nut.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

Always loved the look of those wheels. Very, very tough. And your louvers look great as well!

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

looks badass man!!! what did you have to do the brakes? or did you use spacers? thanks.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

Old School, I like the look.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

sorry i dont know what type of lug nuts i have on the mach they were the same ones i had when i bought it. they are long and yeah i had to use a 3/8 deep well. and sorry for my lack of knowledge on the lingo, whats lugs on a PITA?

Thanks, and i didnt do anything to the brakes, i used spacers i think i answered a similar question earlier but i dont remember lol, it was a 7/32" spacer on the rear and a 1" hubcentric spacer on the front.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

PITA as in Pain In The A$$. :)

I just sold my Fox so I'll probably ty these on the MACh and see how it goes. I personaly hated the larger center caps. I was going to see if I could get some machined up at the shop that would be flush of just above. Kind of like the Greg Weld wheels had.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

ohhhhh lol. got ya. and no the lugs were alright it was the studs that were a pita for me. i had to use a dremel to cut the studs and the first time i cut them to short for the spacer in the front and had to cut again. (should have measured twice!) and then when i finaly got them on after like 10 broken cutting disks and two bits, I went to get my oil changed at a ford dealership and my hub was going out i was told. Well unfortunatly they were right so they replaced it and i had to cut studs again on the new hub. so yeah fun stuff but the second time went ALOT smoother.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

I know it's to late for you peabodyz06, but I'm posting this for anyone else that might look this up.

I took the spacer and bolted it to the wheel. Then I used it as a drill guide to dill clearance holes in the back for the stock studs. You only need to go maybe 1/2 deep. I just marked my drill bit with some tape so they all be the same depth. Took maybe 45 mins to do the two of them. I did this because I'm still running the stock wheel 99% of the time and didn't want to shorten the studs for them. Plus if I ever have to replace the hub I won't have to shorten studs again.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

I love the look! Nice!

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

That looks GREAT. Old School....like me.:23:

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
 

Looks badass! If you don't mind me asking, how much dough do you have invested with spacers, wheels and tires?
