SHOs with OE Thunderbird Rims?

[TwistedD85]

I know the five lug V8 rims fit but I can't find decent pictures, usually taken from the front of the car, anyone have any from the side or a 3/4's shot? Also I can't remember if the SHO centercaps will fit or if they'd need to be made to fit. :thankyou:

here you go, this is my Gen 1 with the 15in T-bird Turbines on it.

Interesting, I never thought of that kind. Anyone have a SHO with the SC wheels? Early or late five lug works.

they aren't the best plan because they wont fit after a '96 upgrade. they're only 15s.

my neighbor thought ford made a early 90s 4 door thunderbird simply based on my wheels.

 

[TwistedD85]

Hm, maybe I'm thinking of the wrong ones then. The ones I'm looking at are 16's, lemme Google a pic...



At least an eBay auction with a set of them listed them as 16's, I couldn't compare to any others since they were the only set on there. Oh or these as well.

as long as its the same bolt pattern and offset it should work

The fist picture above is the Sport package (SC Suspension w/o ARC) for the 96~97 Tbird LX (I've got a set), the second image is of an earlier model (89~93) Tbird SC (I've got two sets).
Not sure the offset is the same but its close.

My former dd (now being rebrought out from the dead) Black SHO with Thunderbird SC Coupe 16X7" wheels.
BTW, these 16" SC Coupe wheels clear the 11.6" brake upgrade. Been there dun-dat.

 

[TwistedD85]

Nice, thanks :thankyou:

I have 16x7 SC wheels on my '90 with the open lug covers.

Here it is with a slicer cap:



And here it is with an open lug cap:

The first pic is a 94/95 SC. The second pic is a early model SC. What your thinking of it the Sport Wheels for the 96/97. They look the same except you see the lugnuts.

Damn, that's pretty nice looking actually, I kinda figured the SHO center cap wouldn't work with the wheel visually. But it looks perfect, thanks :thankyou:

-uh.....its the same wheel....

 

[TwistedD85]

Yup, identical

 

[speed95]

Not much difference in them except the 94/95 has a more curvy look to them and I think they also have a right and left side to them unlike the 89-93 models. I will have a spare set of SC wheels next month when I get some cobras for the bird. I was going to mount the sc wheels to the SHO but decided to get something different for it.

 

[jelloslug]

Actually the '94 SC wheels are slightly different than the 95-96 Sport wheels. The SC wheels have a little notch cut out so you can easily pop the hub cover off. The Sport wheels don't have the notch since they have open covers. Technically if you want to use the slicer cover on the SC/Sport wheels you should try and fine some SC wheels because I can tell you that getting the slicer cover off of the Sport wheels is a PITA if you are trying to not mess up the paint.

I like my new wheels

And for good reasons...
