My new wheels :P

[Mr95Gl]

Definitely one of my favorite SHO wheels, but what's with the wheel gap? Car on jackstands?

I didn't think one could get RWD rims to work on a FWD vehicle...guess that proves me wrong! What are the details on those rims (diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern, etc)? They look nice, and would show off some nice cross-drilled rotors behind them!

MN12 Thunderbirds had pretty much a FWD offset wheels from the factory for whatever reason.

New suspension put in right before i put the vehicle into storage. Still needs to settle a bit.


Also i plan on the cobra brakes so it will fill in the fronts a bit

The way i drive, I'd go through cross drilled rotors like butter. Plain/vented for me



Biker and i should start an elite club for MB's with the SVT cobra r's (and yes i know they were meant for the t-bird but they are cobra r's for tbird fitment)

Here is my next upgrade

Eh, i am running 235/45-17 and i think they fit perfect..just enough tire to not curb my wheels.

I also use the same size tire. I bought a set of used tires off of Kris (DdakRT) and they are awesome. It's pretty easy to peel out/break traction with the tires, the rubber seems rock hard. Huge improvement over slicers with the goodyear A/S tires.

Question guys. These are the Tires i want for my SHO. But what Brake upgrade will i need to do? Cause these will not bolt right on to a 90 will they?

Those are aftermarket Cobra R wheels made by SVT to fit the Thunderbird. They are in the correct 5x108mm pattern to fit the gen 1-4 Taurus.

They should bolt right on without brake upgrades.
