what rims

VM0824 · June 23rd, 2011, 06:53 PM

so im tired of the random rims that came with my car. what will fit? I still have stock axle/hub so as far as i know, i need 4 lug 16". but theres sooo many measurements i have no idea what they are. like 16x7? or randoms like that.

can someone please explain?

16x7 is the stock size of Mustang wheels. People have stuffed 9" wide up front and 10.5" in the rear. So it's really up to you, what style you like and what you want on the car. There are SO many different options for the fox body, even for the 4 lug.

so lets say I get some 16 or 17 whatever. How do I then pick tire sizes

Just search for tires that fit your rim size. Most tire/wheel websites...like TireRack, or Discount Tire Direct. They have the drop menus that let you shop for tires by rim size.

you can also use the calculator below.

you can put in your stock wheel size and then experiment with the new sizes you may want to go to (front/rear) and match it up to the same size you originally ran stock.

With an 89' the max width you could go is a 10" wide rear (rolling fenders+removing quad shocks) and 8.5" front

anywider than that on an 87-89 and you will have major rubbing issues.

For no mods 8" wide up front and 9" wide rear no fender rolling or messing around... that can apply to 17's and 18's. 17s you will have a greater choice of tyre than 18's and you can also achieve that staggered hotrod look if you want to with 17's
