Mustang wheels on a s14?

[jtt220]

I have been looking to put together a summer wheel and tire package. While browsing around on the internet I couldn't help but noticed that the 94-03 Ford Mustang uses a 17x8" Wheel with a 5x4.5 bolt pattern and +30 offset. If memory serves me 4.5" = 114.3, right? And S14 fit +30 offset well. Does anyone know if this will work? By the way if it does fit their is a guy selling OEM Mustang GT wheels (19lbs ea) for $180 per set. He has a ton of 'em!

[95Blue240sx]

yeah they will fit. Aceinthehole uses some, and so does badmojo. badmojo uses the SVT cobra rims, and ace uses 98(?) GT rims.

[Maeda]

I'm looking for some cobra rims for cheap too. =) These things are sweet!

17x8 +30 1998 Cobra wheels.

Will 255-40 meats fit in the back on these rims?

I used to be a mustang guy, so naturally i feel ripped off every time i by something for my nissan. Once i go 5 lug i'm gonna definitely get the 98 cobra rims. 17x9/17x10.5 and the whole set will cost me less than 600 bucks shipped!! compared to some volks that are 600 a piece!!..the only jdm parts on my car are pillow ball mounts. everything else is australian, german, italian, or domestic.

[TheSparo]

i was gonna buy some for mine, but the 4lug they have doesnt = 114.3 :(

[Heartwork]

heres mine...

I've been eyeballing those, I'd roll on those anytime. So cheap, so nice heheh.

[the240sxer95]

i need me some stang wheels =\

[Var]

anyone know the weight specs on the 17x10.5 wheels? i cant find them. i'm actually looking at the replicas on www.discounttiredirect.com. they are around 600 shipped(not Y2K but the 98 curved spoke wheels). you cant beat that deal. anyways,..who knows the weights?

[WilloW]

IIRC they're about 20ish lbs.

[Var]

okay what the fuck is iirc? im an idiot.

[Heartwork]

If I Recall Correctly, iirc :hsdance:

[Var]

thanks. i'll be over-using this acronym for the next couple of months.

[nightwalker]

anyone know how sturdy those wheels are? 20lbs for a wide 17 is not bad actually

[jtt220]

Well they are OEM ford, MADE IN USA, er....well......no really though, usually any original equipment manufacturer will sacrifice ALOT of performance (read: weight in this case) for durability. I don't know if you've ever been to Detroit, but those wheels had to hold up to the tests of these streets. And let me tell you, the streets here in Michigan are terrible!

[Steeles]

heartwork are those your Works on the front in that pic? hehe looks weird with lip up front and none out back

not to mention they are built for a 3700 pound hog of a car

Heartwork and you other guys with Mustang rims, I am hoping you can help me. Forgive me if I am wordy. I have for a long time(at least since they were released......thought I was being original :eek3: ) wanted to put the Cobra Y2K rims on my car, I am unsure about the fronts being 17x9 with a +24mm offset, I am concerned about them clearing struts up front(or coilovers in case I step up). Anyways, I got a few pics from last month when a guy at my work let me test fit a 17x9 Cobra R rim on my front..I didn't take off and drive with it, I just wanted to get an idea for fit, from the pics does it look like a problem a different tire size might fix, or worst case a very small spacer (5mm or less)?. Please disregard the cars filthy condition, I live in Seattle and drive an hour to work every day...couple hours a day on the freeway in the rain behind semi's can do that to a car in a short time. Also want to note I have a 300zx brake kit and a AGX/RSR Spring Combo waiting to be installed, just collecting a few more pieces before I start installing :)

Thanks for any info offered

This makes me want the five lug conversion for my 92 even more. I can imagine these in black, ooooooooh, nice. :eek2:

[Heartwork]

heartwork are those your Works on the front in that pic? hehe looks weird with lip up front and none out back

yea, Works up front...looks super ghetto with the non lip wheel outback, but hey, $290 for a pair of 18x9 wheels to learn drifting on is justifiable to me :D

[93rps13]

y2k are so nice!!!

[Steeles]

Ha no worries bro wasnt knockin it :) I was thinking about at set for daily grind duties myself till I can afford some works or something ;) I can get a set of the 17x9 +15 for like 100 a piece :) 3lbs heavier than FNO1RCs but half the price...

[mellojoe]

I'm about to pick me up some, I believe.

Just gotta get the price right....

I like the way they fit...17 x 8 front and back. Nice cheap rim for track/drift use.

[240trainee]

You know, I was looking in my Summit catalouge*sp. They sell the GT rims in both 5 and 4 lug, with the same specs. I guess to fit the older 5.0's or something. Anyway, the same wheel in the pics at the start of the thread, and I could still use old-school JDM, or my recently painted black stock rims. Sounds good to me.

[jtt220]

Hey I just recieved the rims I bought! I'll post pics as soon as I can.

[Powashiftin]

What size tire are you running on the cobra wheels? Where did you get them?

http://www.tirerack.com/servlet/CallJsp?target=wheelSearchCloseUp&wheelIndex=24&sizeIndex=0&showRear=no&setIndex=4&filterSize=&filterFinish=&filterSpecial=. heres what I was thinking. I guess It would be best to go with a 5 lug conversion, so you could use OEM wheels, and 300 brakes without redrilling. anyone know if a 5-lug S14 has the same brakes as an S13 except 5 lug rotors? cuz if they were the same size, I would just get Bremb blank rotors for a S14, and just use the stock brakes.

He didn't say that in his post... heeerb

[Steeles]

[Heartwork]

wow.. super stretched huh? where did you get them for $290 shipped?

steeles, ya herb. hahahaha Ive been using the word "herb" for like 4 years non stop now.. everyone uses it cause of me.. hahaha

[Baka Sama]

cnichols, those 96' cobra rims look great!! :coold: Where did you get them might I ask, and how much did they cost you? What size tires are you using? They look so well with the car.

[dekand]

98 cobra's , 17x8 +30 offset ... 245/45/17 es100's... 300$ for all 4 wheels :)

[240trainee]

where did you get them for $300? I have found them at $145 a piece, no cheaper. Now, to me, that is not a bad price for the specs, but $300 is a lot better than $600

[dekand]

cobra forums... for sale sections :)

[SR240]

I saw the auctions for these wheels on ebay as well and was going to bid for set until I heard they were 26lbs each. Can any verify that they're 20lbs rather than 26?

TIA

Here is my old car I sold in November with the same wheels Chris had on his car.

[ditosx]

I just purchased a set of Y2K Cobra 18x9 +24 with 245/40/18 off of ebay for $993 shipped. You could get the wheels alone for $520 shipped ($100 per wheel plus shipping). They also have deals on the 17's too. I will take pics of the wheels when they get in. BTW, if anyone knows of a good deal on a 5 lug swap, let me know.

[Heartwork]

i still have my 18x9 +24 or whatever (not 9.5) that ive been wanting to get rid of forever....

i hate them, ugly wheels to drive around in....i just used them as my backup to my backup wheels....

someone please take the pair off my hands....
