I think those would look sick on a SHO. But i know that not all rims will fit it, what do people do to get rims to fit on the SHO?

Buy rims that fit?

This company makes a 17 x 9.0" Cobra R style rim in the 5 x 4.25" or 5 x 108mm lug pattern that will fit on a T-Bird/Cougar. Someone on the Forum has them install on their SHO with 225/45-17 tires. He had to use a spacer to get the offset just right, something like 6mm or 1/4" thick. I am sure he will chime in, his sig has a picture of his car waering the rims.

They are just the SVT wheels.You can get them at cincysho,and i think maybe even Performance Plus?If you can find rims with the correct offset,and machine shop with a tall enough CNC can drill the correct bolt pattern in for you pretty easy.Jeremy P`s turbo sho has AXIS wheels that were redrilled.

DUDE! Those are NOT just SVT Thunderbird wheels that the guy on the forum has! (Sorry, forgot yer name man..) They're Cobra R Replicas that are actually 17x9" and require spacers to properly fit on the SHO... SVT T-bird rims are only 17x7s, which is a waste of $$$ IMO... Also, I believe he was running 245/45 17s.. Or was going to.. got this tires w/ the rims or something like that.

there is a set of 17x9 cobra r chrome wheels on ebay. i just saw them but didn't think to get the link. oh well, search and you shall see

I got my rims (17x9" Cobra R replicas 5x108mm) from www.capitalwheels.com They were $149 a piece of I remember correctly. I have 235/45/17's in the rear and 225/45/17's in the front. I have 245's which I want to put on all the way around. To accomplish this in the front, the strut tube is going to have to be ground down a wee bit. As it stands right now I have spacers all the way around, 1/4" ones. These look fine on the back but the fronts do come out slightly farther than the fender lip, which I don't like. Other than what I've mentioned, I love the rims! I hope this helps

jdh00,
I want replicas too. Where did you get your spacers and how much do they run?

 

[jdh00]

I got the spacers at a local performance type shop. It was the only place that I could find the 5x108mm 1/4" spacers. They were ~$4 a piece.
