18x10 on FRONT and back - Didn't know - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

jeff33702 · 05-20-2007, 08:09 PM

I didn't realize that these fit. I would have even argued with someone otherwise if I hadnt seen it myself.

I just bought an 01 Cobra that had forgeline GT3 18x10 wheels on the front and back with 285s all the way around. They fit kinda funny on the 01, and I realized he had the fronts on the back and vise versa - probably to clear the coilovers that are on the car. Well, I swapped them around and the offsets were obviously better but I fully expected the wheel to hit the control arms. I tried them on the Mach and turned the wheel lock to lock - no problem - then went for a ride.

Now I have 18x10 Forgelines on my mach

My wife is going to have to settle for the 18x9 roush argents that are coming in the mail Tuesday (I bought the cobra have some fun with and maybe sell - but my wife has claimed it)

Let see some pics.

I'll get some more, but this is one of the only one that shows its width.

The wheels are a little dirty, so I'm embarrased to show other pictures

I initially thought about selling these, but I really like the way they look. They have Pilot Sports on them too - so that makes for about a $5000 set of wheels and tires.

well i can see in your first of 2 pics that at least your drivers rear tire is going in the wrong direction. make sure you get that on the right side of the car asap as it will cause separated belts in the tire and horrible wet traction.

Yeah - I noticed that. The front is also wrong. In that picture, the other side of the car still has the Team 3 wheels

Actually, it was just a test fit and a drive around the block. I happened to have them off of the opposite side of the car I just bought.

I just had to try them - I was certain that they were going to rub when I turned the wheel, but nope.

The thing that stinks is that I just bought a MM k-member for the mach, in anticipation of re-installing the engine/longtubes after the rebuild... The MM K puts the wheels out another .200. I think they fit just right now. Maybe I should consider the PA K with the OE spring locations and such?

Now that is a mean stance.:ORANGE:

Something about my camera and that time of the evening, but the car is red

My camera isn't exactly cheap either :wierd: so it really should look more red than that.

I think that I might swap the rear halves of the wheels to create a 18x9 and 18x11 combo. At least that way, when I start with my K-member install, they should fit.
