opinion for wheel widths

Rcyote · November 3rd, 2008, 11:28 AM

ok im not sure if i wanna go with a staggered look of my mustang. im putting on 17" black 2003 cobra rims, but i can either get em all around 9" width or put 10.5" rims in the back for the staggered look. id like some suggestions, definitely pics of the staggered cuz i havent seen too many of them to really get a feel for em.
-thanks

go 10.5'' out back unless you do a lot of driving everyday because you cant rotate staggered wheels. i just put a set on my car.

I say go with staggered, i think they look great, But like mentioned you cant rotate them

Here are a few pics with my old wheels, 9 and 10.5:

ok ya i definitely like the look. but it is my everyday car. so im guessing i shouldnt do it then?

AggieStang · November 3rd, 2008, 05:10 PM

Do it anyway. It looks great.

Rcyote · November 3rd, 2008, 05:10 PM

Avaric3 · November 3rd, 2008, 05:12 PM

AggieStang · November 3rd, 2008, 05:12 PM

I really like how they aren't cobra badges. Props for not lying about what you got.

The only reason you shouldnt do it is if you want to be able to rotate your tires.

You will just have to decide if you can afford to replace tires more often then you would be able to if you could rotate them

Rcyote · November 3rd, 2008, 07:35 PM

heres a pretty accurate account of my driving. im 19. my school and work r very close to my house. when i got the car over 2 years ago it had 128k on it. now it has about 136k. so avg about 4k a year. maybe a lil more now, but i doubt it would be anywhere near 10k a year. should i go staggered?

HMUSN · November 3rd, 2008, 07:36 PM

hell yea ya should.

buddyantunez1 · November 3rd, 2008, 07:39 PM

mines my DD too, i just have to realize that i will go through tires a little bit quicker than those who can rotate.

travis_afx · November 3rd, 2008, 08:00 PM

Yes, yes you should, you dont put enough miles on her to be worried about it IMO

Rcyote · November 3rd, 2008, 10:27 PM

well im sold lol

Rcyote · November 4th, 2008, 04:32 PM

one more thing, anything i should know when mounting them? like different alignments or anything? cuz ive seen some that stick out more than others

ok, what exactly size rims do you have?

travis_afx · November 5th, 2008, 12:10 PM

Those are 17x9 and 17x10.5 deep dish bullits

but now i have 15x4 and 15x10 draglites on her

04mustang232 · November 5th, 2008, 07:05 PM

my car was my DD and i had 9s in front and 10s in back. Staggered is the way to go on our cars for sure. My tires wear even, i obviously dont rotate them.
