Rims?

[97V8SHO]

What's the bolt pattern and back spaceing for our rims? Does anybody know if the 98 Cobra rims will work?

Bolt pattern is 5x108 mm (5x4.25"). Offset is something like 42 mm (negative). And no a Cobra rim won't work. Wrong bolt pattern.

Hey Paul what rims do you have? I think I saw a pic of them and I like em.

Has anybody tried the Vela wheels from OZ racing? I think they look pretty sweet and they will fit the car perfectly. Only wish they came in something bigger than a 7.

I think the SHO has the same bolt pattern as Aero Star, and (Old) Thunderbird. The only thing you have to worry about then is the brake calipers clearing.

Ok well after talking to OZ they siad that the Vela was discontinued. But I did find a racing wheel that will look sweet on the SHO, it's the Record wheel. 17x7 42 offset with a 5x108 bolt pattern.
