Wow. I am imagining. Hmm. Never bid on ebay before. Might just go ahead and bid on those. I need new tires soon anyway.

Those black chrome rims that Thunderbat posted the link to are gorgeous, they would look sweet on our cars. One thing at a time, don't want to overload her with thoo much stuff all at once, she may end up saying no one day

The sig pic I have is the SLP spoiler. AS for ebay, my experiance has been...not without snags. I actually won the bid over 7 days ago. I paid for them via pay pal right away. They were shipped yesterday. I had to spend almost 3 hours on the phone with the dumbass from UPS in FLA. Most of the problems were simply due to lack of knowledge regarding shipping to canada. I did find out that items shipped as replacement parts result in signifigant savings when they cross the border. At present 3 of the 4 are in Fort Erie while the 4th is still in South Carolina. If all goes well they should be installed by next wednesday, but Im not holding my breath.

I think as long as you are stadard height, you're okay. If you plan on doing any lowering of your car, you'll need to roll out the rear fender openings just a tad.

Originally posted by ThunderBat: forgive me folks for being lax on my metric conversions...but I noticed on several of the wheel sets posted on eBay that the bolt pattern was 5x4.5...I know our wheels are 5x115mm (I'm guessing this must be very close?)...the other issue I noticed is that many 94-03 Mustang apps losted anywhere from 21-26mm backspacing, while the 05-06 apps were 38mm...do any of these items cause fitment probs on our cars?...I'd kinda like to figure this out before I plunk down any cash on a bid. (see Redgie, you done started somethin big!) Hello, The Bolt pattern differs by .7mm. The Standard GM Bolt pattern is 115mm. Ford uses standard measurement of 4.5", which in metric is 114.3mm. I've never heard of anyone having problems running the almost similar bolt pattern, but I can imagine that it does put a strain on the lugs. The backspacing can take a toll on a wider rim. We have a member that 18" Cobra R's on his GTP, and he had to get the inside of his fenders "rolled" to allow clearance for the tires. I know there are different widths when it comes to the Ford rims, and I'm not for sure of the width on his, but I've heard him say that most rims aren't that wide.. Later now, Clint
