No to the Bullit style. Yes to the Saleen style.

I think you're wrong. Most people would be, hey nice car. Haters would say, nice SC with Mustang Rims. I brought this up to my boy that has a 65 Mustang and he laughed. But take out the Lexus and Mustang label and from my eyes, they look good. I personally love 20"+ rims on our cars and actually don't like GTC's as much as everyone likes em. I don't hate on em though.

I say keep it classy and you're fine.

Go for it! I think they would look best on a black SC. Too many haters on this thread. A profile pic would have been nice to really get a better idea.

I personally like the look if the car is slammed. Does anyone know if the fr500 wheels clear supra brakes?

Im pretty sure they will clear TT calipers. The FR500 mustang has 4 or 6 piston calipers on it as well.

I think this car looks sick. Black on black with these FR500 rims with silver lip, deep dish, lowered, tint, front lip

mixing "different car parts and makes" doesn't really matter to me

and sorry for reposting these pics AGAIN but I just can't stop looking at it.

I have to agree, I've been looking at so many sc's trying to figure how I want to build mine. I was going to go with chrome TT rims, but these look amazing. I'm thinking white sc300 with black interior, RSX seats, black FR500 staggered rims, stock 92-96 bumper with stock lip, stock 92-96 wing, Glass ebay headlight lenses with stock internals painted black, retrofitted hid's, coilovers, tint, and GTE/V160...

I just care about how MY car looks, and either people like it or not; it doesn't really matter that much to me. I mean I love when I get props, but it is I who has to look/drive it everyday.

I dunno, sorry I'm just rambling....everyone has their own view on weather or not a car looks good. So I dunno, you can't please everyone.

Cheers!

I am looking at something similiar also with these sizes.
The wheels are 18x9 with a 5.95" backspace (+24mm offset) and 18x10 with a 6.42" backspace (+22mm offset).
The wheels are 18x9 with a 6.2" backspace (+30mm offset) and 18x10 with a 7" backspace (+40mm offset).
Out of the two listed, which would fit better?
So can we pretty much agree they will fit with trimmed fenders front and rear being lowered with coilovers, just would like to know which one fit better.
