NEED HELP WITH RIMS!!!! - 5/18/2008 11:31:35 AM    Oramac   Posts: 2 Joined: 5/18/2008 Status: offline Hi, Im new here, and sorry if this has been answered already, but I have one question for all who want to help. I have an 00' Mustang convertible (no GT), and I have some crappy aftermarket rims that I got with the car not too long ago, I believe they are 15-16's. In any case, I've been looking at rims that have tires together since i really need new tires. And, so I found these sweet SVT Cobra (02-03ish) rims 17 x 9's with tires! They would look awesome, but does the Cobra have IRS that will prevent a nice and easy swap? So would I have to get replica's for it to fit my car? Thanks for any insight on what I can do! Post #: 1

RE: NEED HELP WITH RIMS!!!! - 5/20/2008 10:08:22 AM    Oramac   Posts: 2 Joined: 5/18/2008 Status: offline Thanks, but I'm still concerned with the Independent Rear Suspension of the SVT since the wheels were meant for it, and a V6 doesn't have that. Does that still matter? (in reply to my94pony) Post #: 4
