What OEMish Wheels Fit These Critters?
Hi:
I hope this hasn't already been forumed to death & I just can't find it.
Thinking about mild wheels for my '01 UL.
All I see are photo's of lowriders with 20+'s.....
No change to suspension wanted.
I know these have huge calipers...
I really hate spacer plates....
Anybody know the numbers (my wheels are: 17" x ??? with ??mm offset)??
I want to keep a reasonable sidewall and maybe just a little wider...
A guy on Craig's has perfect take-off 2013 Mustang GT 5-spokes with 245/45-18 Michelin's (not the top-flight tire, but OK for a while). Any chance those fit right? I'll epoxy silver Walking Liberty 50 cent pieces over the horsey logo....
Want some clean, barely off stock (leaning towards 245 x 18's), different, no 24's with rubber bands and how should I say....., cost efficient!
Lexus GS wheels?
Thanks, RW

You sound like you already have a good idea of what you want and some of the hurdles you might have, mainly clearing these brakes. That being said, just look for wheels off of a car that have the same bolt pattern and typically come with larger brakes, such as the 350Z for example (meaning the brakes). If you find some, research what the offsets are, if they are close to the lexus stock offset they should work. I would go for a bit lower than Lexus stock to bring it out some, which shouldnt be too hard to find.

Hi:
Neat look with the GS wheels!
I'm really leaning towards a clean looking, sorta old-school five spoke wheel (ref my '56 BelAir with Cragers).
It is why I am leaning towards the '13 Stang GT's (they come with pretty substantial calipers...).
Maybe I haven't kept up, but I've always been told to shy away from spacers....
Thx, RW
