rims >>>> will these work???

[sho chick]

19" x 8.5" with a 5 x 108 bolt pattern. The offset is +38mm. These should fit most Ford Motor Company vehicles with standard size brakes.

These wheels have a 3" lip. Lugs, Key, Wheel Spacers(if needed) and hub centric rings will also be included.


awesome deal!! i hope they'll fit..

Thats a bit wide, it might be close, run as skinny a tires as you can on that rim safely and you might be ok

Ought to work, but be careful about clearance on the inside to the strut and on the outside to the fender lip. Rolling the fender lip should fix any issues there, and if there's a problem with strut clearance then a small spacer should do it.

id go with a smaller tire.

What body style (Gen 1 or Gen 2)?

I had 18x8" on a Gen I with 235/45/18s, and it was a tight fit in the back (struts and fender wells).

 

[sho chick]

its a gen 2.. how much wider are they then stock??

 

[ManySHOs]

2.5" inches (just the rim). Your tire contact patch might be wider.

I would be concerned about bending them even if they do fit. Those tires are going to be rubber bands.

By the description, it sounds like they are drilled for multiple bolt patterns. Make sure that one of those patterns is 5 x 108.

also how wide are these?? will they stick out of the fender well?? either way they will fit with spacers correct?? thats what the guy told me.. i could put smaller tires on it????

 

[sho chick]

so basically if i hit a pothole they bend and break.. so they are extremely weak??

I don't know. What rims are these? The strength of the rim itself depends on how it was made; cast, forged, heat treated, number of spokes, size of lip (if any).

My comment was more about the tires; they aren't going to provide much cushion for the rim if you hit a pothole. Many OEM companies that use 18" rims have problems with their customers bending rims. (7 series BMW, Jag XJR, etc) I only point this out because OEM rims are usually stronger than aftermarket units. A 19" rim is only going to be worse.

I'm sticking with 17"s, especially with the coilovers. They allow me to run a 45 profile tire which is the shortest sidewall that I feel comfortable running.

they have a three inch lip.. 5 spoke. they are adr spartan's and look durable.

 

[ty91sho]

3inch lip?!! wow. i have a set of adr's(on the audi) they seem to be good. i have hit a few good *** holes but i have a 40 series tire you have thiner sidewall at 35 series...

i would hate to be the guy to mount these up on the rims lol i hate mounting 40 series on 18 i cant imagin on 19s

SHo Chick, can you post a pic of the rim's???

FYI I have ran 19 X 8 rims on my Gen I.

 

[1993MTXSHO]

This is the reason I stick to 16's. I might not be "BALLIN!" but it keeps the weight more hub centric for better braking and acceleration, and I don't bend rims if I hit potholes

 

[SHO Continental]

I have some 19" RSL wheels. (Made by ADR) With potholes I manged to crack two spokes, one on each front wheel.

Right side




Of course look at my sig, these wheels have tiny spokes. Maybe the ones you're looking at have some more meat?

btw I was running 245/35/19 tires.

I'd call that more meat!.. I'd also cry when buying new rubber bands...

 

[sho chick]

ok, final decision.

So the rims look durable enough to you guys?? and the description i gave have been tried and tested on a gen 2? One last question.. how much will the ride quality degrade? im also putting eibachs and tokico's on it.. would that affect anything?? only have a few days left till i make my decision.. i dont want to waste my money.. thanks

 

[ManySHOs]

I think the ride is going to be harsh and there's a good chance that you'll bend or crack one of the rims. You may also have rubbing issues. Personally, I would not do it.
