It's always fun and challenging to take an old Mustang and bring it to it's potential. Wow, can you believe that "before" shot?... YIKES.

With the new SC wheels, I have all my Mustang friends drooling over the car now. And the fit was perfect.

Thanks LRS!!

That looks amazing.

NICE!

Awesome!

I love the SC wheels.

What size tires are you running?

did u have to do anything to fit the 17 x 10 rims on the back? and what size rim did you choose for the front?

@Justin Shieck - I sent Eddie an email about your questions.

Sorry it took so long to answer the questions. Here goes...

I went with 17x9 front and 17,10 rear SC Style wheels.

255/40/17 front and 275/40/17 rear, Sumitomo tires.

The fit is "nearly perfect". The stretch on the rear tire to fit the 10" rim is perfect and creates a great road racer look. If you go with a larger tire you can make it fit but then you get a  dragster look (not what I was going for).

There is very little rub since I have a 91 GT (larger wheel openings) but there is a littlt. With minor fender roll and pounding in the inner wheel well, there is a great fit. If you take the car on a road track day, you will soon discover where any left over rubbbing spots are.

I have fixed up a lot of cars in my day because I just love cars, especially Mustangs. Do your homework before you buy anything and ask lots of questions, that's my motto.

Thanks for the nice comments. I hope you all buy wheels from LRS. They were great and I love the quality I got.

Thanks Eddie!

so what all did you have to do to fit the 17,10s in the back cause i have a 90 lx conv. and i was looking at some like it

@zak - Here is what jmac recommends for 10.5's, I assume it's pretty much the same for 10's.

roll outer fender lip

take a hammer & clearance the inner fender well

remove your quad shocks

You may also have to adjust your exhaust to gain clearance between the tailpipe & the tire.

Eddie, Great job!!

what suspension are you using on your mustang??

That looks amazing!!!

How did he get the paint to look like that???

Did he use some compounds and polishes like meguiars 105/80,etc? Or did he get a paint job?

I have a red GT just like that, but i cannot get my paint to shine like that! It comes close, but its not as good.

As far as fitment in the rear is concerned, everything that Nate said to do is right on. It seems like a lot but it's really pretty cheap and easy... and well worth it.

As for the paint, my shoulders freekin hurt for days after rubbing it out, by hand, with Turtle Wax rubbing compund. Then I waxed it with Meguiars. I hit it with more wax and occasional rubbing compound as needed. It's all original paint with 98k miles. The oxidation will come back so you have to repeat as needed. The trim areas around the doors and windows were painted, by me, with just one can of "trim paint"...$5.00 Make sure you clean the surface with a pre paint spongey cloth, works wonders.

You know, I have a very rare 600 hp Saleen S351-R with low miles, sitting in my garage, but I still love looking at the fox body. With the SC wheels and a moderate drop, it just looks sweet.

Suspension, Jamex springs and shocks, 1-3/4" drop.

I have a 92 coupe with 96 Cobra brakes and spindles up front with a 97 GT 8.8 in the rear. I would like to run FR500's 17x9 in the front with a 255/40/17 and 17x10.5 in the rear with a 315/35/17 in the rear. Will this work?

Can anyone help me? I would like to order some wheels asap.

@Dwarren - You will have to remove your quad shocks in the rear and clearance the fender but from what you describe you should be able to get them to fit with these modifications.

where did you purchase the wheels for the red gt. i am wanting the same look and fit on my black gt. and they are 9 on the front and 10 on the back. why is it that some of the 10's stick out in the the rear and others are flush with the car like on the red gt in the pic. that is what is making me hesitant about 10's in the back.

Dana, you can find the wheels here.
