Wheel Selections

[Greg_FW]

With recommendations of 10.0 and 10.5 for wheel widths and thinking of the weight limit, what brands / models of wheels are out there as we move into R888 territory?

17x9.5 inch is the widest wheel size allowed for AI and CMC-2.
CMC only allows 16x8.

Greg is probably speaking of AI (Mustang?)...there really aren't any lightweight 17x10.5"...they are mostly made for the rear of the newer stangs with a Henke offset so you can run 315's in the rear of a modern stang. They are heavy, not very strong. Other choice is to buy a lot of 17x8 "snowflakes" from 99-2000 cars and have them widened, but again, too heavy and questionable strength. Then there are those sexy 3pc wheels at 500+ each.

F-bodies....unknown.

Otherwise, change your tire selection.

accually Greg Hughs has a 3rd gen CMC car. the old Rich Santos CMC car.
so for other than CMC, i couldnt guess what else he would be asking for.
but Matt, you do know it all, so your likely right w/ the longer sig and all.

I am happy you acknowledge my superior standing! LOL!!! :roll: Sig has only been like that for 3 weeks and you clowns are just noticing it?! :lol:

Hadn't heard anyone chatting about 10 or 10.5" rims for CMC! :shock: There was just a VERY recent posting on the national AI board about it so I figured that was the reference, but I will voice what JWL has said..."if you don't like the wider tire on the current standard rim, buy a different tire."

Noticed? yes

Acknowledged? not so much

It's kind of like Todd posting cat pictures ...

Glenn, why is it Mustang owners want to be like us?

Just need ideas for Mullet styles come Halloween!

Actually I saw somewhere the wide rim recommendation and didn't check the rules.

My real question is what kind of wheels are light, cheap and legal for CMC. I have the original IROCs but they seem pretty heavy (haven't weighed them, though).
