93sssSVT how big are your tires? My rims are 8.5 and 9.5 and I ordered Toyo T1Rs in 245/40 and 275/35. Also do you know the offset of your rims?

Is your car lowered at all? Cause my car is stock ride height and I have a 255/35 series up front and it rubs sometimes on some bumps while turning. The 40 series tire is going to be a bit bigger in diameter isn't it?

well im almost done with the swap. just need to finish the rear. getting all the parts was harder than actually doing the work. The rear wheel is just setting next to the axle in the pic.

GORGEOUS. I could only wish my car looked that good. I think I might have to do a 5 lug swap sooner than I thought so I can get some nice rims on my car. Did you just piece together your 5 lug swap racerbox, or did you buy a kit ????

I pieced the kit together. The anniversary red calipers are on national back order. The black (or grey) calipers were hard to find also, but I found a pair in Florida from Wayne Akers Ford. I had to drive about an hour to pick up spindles from the only junk yard in ohio (supposedly) that had 94-95 spindles. The first set of rotors I got off Ebay were junk so I had to send them back. I was sent the wrong banjo bolts. So like I said getting the parts was harder than doing the job. Thanks a lot for the compliments guys.

Those are the Beast rims right ?? I just saw some beasts in black, I wonder how those mightve looked on there.... Although those rims look phenominal anyways, just thinking out loud....

Are you going to be selling your old OEM rims ???? Theyre chromed right ?!?!

What backspacing do you need to go with to keep the rim inside the fenderwells ?!?!? Do you notice it touching at all anywhere when you turn lock to lock ??? I cant wait till you get that thing on the road and see if it rubs anywhere.... GREAT setup.

He had said it on page 2... you probably skipped over it just drooling at the pics like I did. HAHA
