Saleen sc wheel,s

[slimj]

Just wondering does anybody run these wheels, I want to get these wheels for my car it is a 85 coupe, I am getting them in 4 bolt, The fronts are 255/40/17 the back are 275/40/17, nitto nt 555,s Front wheels are 8x17 back are 9x17 . But they say you need a spacer for the front, And rack limiters, Just was wondering about the spacers , Anybody run them not real sure about the spacers. Thanks.

Damon23 has them on his anniversary car, he would be a good one to ask. Not sure what size his are.

[slimj]

Cool thanks

[Damon23]

Got that set up but with a 245/45/17 up front. It has 1/4 in spacers. No rubbing or scraping. Gives the front a broad look.

[slimj]

Did you have any rubbing in the back ? Have you had any problems whith the spacer up front ? Like coming loose or anything ? And do you have these wheels on a 85 car. I was concerned the front tires would stick out past the front fenders whith a spacer. I would like to get these wheels something different . I was going to put welds on my car ,But everybody does welds around here. My car is not lowerd it is all stock. Thanks.

What about polishing the 10-holes? That car looks so perfect the way it is, but I get wanted to spice it up a bit. The Saleen wheels will look good, as would a set of mesh, but that car really wears the 10-holes nicely.

[Damon23]

Looks like at one point there was but not anymore. The spacers are thin and the wheels are snug. The front tires sit nice and flush up front. I think I haves front shot of it that I'll post.

[slimj]

Awsome , picks would be great. Top gear the ten holes are wet sanded and polished on my car now, They are perfect no curb rash or anything, I even sanded the wheel weight marks off, And had the weights put on the back of the rim. I wanted to change the look, I am keeping the ten holes to swap out every now and then, lol Damon23 did you need longer studs on the rotors up front whith the spacers.

[Damon23]

Does not show the fender well but here goes. As far as longer studs, I don't know. I know the wheel lugs are the longer ones there are no issues. Hope this helps.

Those wheels do look amazing on the Anny, I bet they will look great on your notch as well. You're right, you can always switch back to the 10 holes whenever you want. I can't wait to see what you decide, your car is one of my favorites.

[slimj]

Thanks damon, for the picks, They look good on your car, And the front looks just right, Thanks topgear I will get picks up when I get them on. I need to get some new picks up, Now that the car is all done. Just need to decide 10 wide in the back or 9. ha ha .

[slimj]

One other question damon is your car lowerd ? It sits perfect. Mine has stock springs.

[Damon23]

Yes, it has 2004 bullit springs. Gave it about 3/4 in drop.

[slimj]

Thanks damon for all your help. Your car looks realy good.

Did you see this one? I don't know the specs but it looks nice..

[STANGMAN116]

those rims look amazing!!!

[slimj]

Wow that does look good, Love the driving lights to. I could use those lights, Mine are not very bright, Love those wheels.

[TopGear85]

I'm with you guys on the wheels, those do look great on an 85/86 notch. Not sure I feel the same about the fogs, but that's neither here nor there.

On my 89, 17x8 fronts with 245/45/17, 17x9 rears with 275/40/17. Lowered. No spacers. No rubbing.

[slimj]

Yeah Derald they say you need the spacer if it is 85 to 86 . Its a 8mm spacer only for the front.

Wow those look great! Did you buy them that way or paint them gray?

I had them powdercoated. Was able to get a custom mix of powdercoating to match the paint.
