On Tirerack, do a search for an early 90s T-Bird and 97 Volvo 850.

Im a sucker for the OZ cronos or the borbet type fs. I will be purchasing a set of one of these for my 90 in a couple weeks. Still havent made my mind up on which though. -Karson

I would definitely go with those borbet wheels, I have always been a fan of thin spoked, five star rims on a SHO and this is just my 2 cents. I think you should pick which ever rim you see fit because ultimately you are the one driving/owning the car not us .

 

[SHO_DOODmorrris]

obviously lol, but yeah im in between #2 and #4 right now. i shouldent have a problem using these with tokico/intrax suspension setup right?

If you go with the borbet type fs in 17x7 you can run a 225-50-17 tire with no issues. It would be fine with your intrax. -Karson

Edit: this is going on the 89 right? What I said above will work with no issues on the 89. Others will have to chime in on the other sizes. -Karson

here are jh8's on a red gen1 for ya



there was a red plus for sale with the at italia's but i cant find it. can someone else look for it?

 

[BlackonBlack89]

3 or 4.
Go with the widest wheel and tire possible. It looks better and handles better. Also i think 18's look killer on a SHO.

Here is my 18's on the 89 (old old pic)


And I took this pic a couple days ago of the 91.... I think it looks good
