    I'd like to hear LMR chime in on this, but I bet they produced these rims after reading us all clamor for them here at FEP! So everyone pat yourself on the backs.

    So, you can put whatever tires you want on them?
    Yes. 225/55/16 would be the best option for the period correct look. Even though a 195 or 205 would be more period correct for the Pace Car, Cobra or 82 GT...I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Its why my '82 has 220 TRX on it now.

    Since these were the wheels that were original equipment on my car, I would have definitely been interested in buying them. However I just bought these Fittipaldi wheels this week there's no more money left in the budget. Maybe later if they continue to carry them. This is what the Fittipaldi's look like. They are a 16", 3 piece wheel'

    There is a lengthy discussion on this already over in the WHEELS & TIRES section. But the answer to your question is a resounding YES

    I'll post a picture when they're mounted on the car. I bought some nice Dunlop SP Sport Signature 225/50r-16 tires to go on them. They look nice on a fox.
