I'm thinking about buying these

he wants 800 and payed 3800, there's a little bit of rash he says but I asked for better pics. the lug spacing is 5x114.7, and my truck is 5x.5, will they fit? I know some of the ford trucks had 5x5.5, so I'm hoping the same is true of the mustang.

those are my rims except mine are 20, i feel sorry for those rims they were on a riced out mustang

but yea they are nice what are you gonna put em on?

The bolt pattern is wrong, I'm heartbroken, I was gonna rock them on my 87 samurai and hope that the smaller tire size and lighter wheels would helkp me to hit speeds above 55

yea i couldnt really see those on a samurai...or any mustang...they only look good on 350z's even thought ive seen lik3 7 with those so far

Might be a moot point now since you arent getting them, but light wheels wont do squat for terminal velocity. It will only help with acceleration and handling.

There isnt much you can do inexpensively to get a 1.6 litre with aerodynamics of a barnyard door to cruise comfortably at high speeds

The tire size was what I was really hoping would up my top speed, I never drove it on the highway before I slapped the big tires on it but I imagine it was a little bit faster.

It would probably look better on a samurai.

your basicly screwed the fact is yiu have a extremly underpowerd rig. the only 2 choices you got is to either regear or do a motor swap, the 2 most popular swaps are the 1.8? sidkick motor swaps or a GM 4.3
