New wheels, what do ya think? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

sdg97232 · 05-10-2010, 10:47 PM

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.
