Just order a set of Rims and Tires at what i think is a great deal. Can't wait to get them. As soon as the order was placed which was about 6:00 PM eastern time Sat. I had a call at 7:40 PM easter time confirming my order. ( NOW that is what i call service on the weekends) not excluding the e-mail comfirmation 1 min. after the order was placed. the place is

http://performanceplustire.com/

Located in Long Beach CA. When they called to confirm the person on the phone was very helpful and let me ask all kinds of questions know that i was in New York and a little sceptic being the first time i bought rims online with out seeing them live first. (I KNOW I KNOW A BIT RISKY) but i did my research first as to the tires and rims before ordering. Well any way thought you guys might want to look into this place if you don't all ready know about.

Here's what i got with pics of the rim and the tire

Thanks for advertising on the site. Nice to see that you joined the forum to tell us about your rims.

What offset? 7.5" wide is kinda narrow.

I didn't just join to advertise (HAHAHA) I have been watching the site for a while but since I’m kind of new to posting stuff I figured I give some of you a heads up since I know how high maintenance the LSC GEN 2 can be. ESPECIALY if you have a guy hit your LSC when it’s parked. but any way from what they say on their site they make sure the rims will fit otherwise they wont' send it and try to accommodate you

I know the original rim is

225/60-16 | Factory Bolt Pattern: 5x108 | Hub: 63.4 | Offset: HIGH | Lug: 12x1.5

Better than the 7" stock rim.

Ive been looking for some rims like this. Kale has these rims, And I think they look pretty nice on his 94.http://performanceplustire.com/products/wheels/applicationID/874/searchType/searchByVehicle/year/1993/makeID/69/modelID/744/x/16/y/4/wheelSize/20/manufacturerID/37/productID/2647/wheelDataID/9027

Just don't want anybody to be disapointed with the stance they end up with. I personally like them as flush as can with the car wheel well.

Offset high isn't to exact.

Mine are 9.5" wide with a 36mm offset. That means those wheels will be 1"+4mm further under the car than mine. Probably will sit similar to stock, but I don't know the stock offset. I guess I don't see the point in replacing the stock wheels for something thats going to look so similar. Rims to me are more than the way the look, its the way they look on the car. Stance.

Well if the tire looks as beefy as it sounds the over the lip look should make up for it i think but as they say you live and learn so i'll have to see how it looks because as the said on thier site.

" Fitment Guarantee
All our recommended packages* are built to fit your vehicle as is, with no modifications and with no problems, such as rubbing Bigger size rims come with lower profile tires, so the overall tire diameter remains the same as your original tires. However, we always double check all orders (including test fit when necessary) to make sure that website recommendations were accurate. If we sell you a package which doesn't fit your vehicle we will send you a replacement. If a replacement is not available Performance Plus Tire & Auto will issue call tags to return product back to us. As long as the product is returned in good condition we will issue a full refund including freight. "

Mine are 18"s just picture them in 1"and4mm in further and that should be what you get. 245s are a good fit for that size rim. You are right, the over the lip look should be there. Mine are 265s and on the 9.5" they are the opposite. But any wider and more than a MINOR rear fender edge roll would of been needed.

Joey,

If you have a Mark VIII , you also have problems ! "Factory Bolt Pattern: 5x108 | Hub: 63.4 | Offset: HIGH |" (39 mm) ! The specifications that you give are the wrong bolt pattern and the wrong hub diameter for a Mark VIII ! Hub centric rings would take care of the hub diameter ! If you have a Mark VII you will have the wrong offset ( back spacing ) !

Good Luck,
Sonny

Actually, you are wrong. The fn95 bolt pattern is 5x115, the mn12(mk8,tbird,cougar) all have a 5x108 bolt circle.

That was all i could find on the manufacture’s site but from what the guy on the phone said and what was said on the Performance Plus Tire & Auto site they should be ready to go when they get here

Im sure they'll be fine! Just remember to tighten your lug nuts down all the way! haha:runaway:

Where in the Bronx?

i was starting to have second thoughts HAHAHAHA but i'm ok now. i'll make sure i take some pics and post them. i should have the set here by the weekend i hope. Thank you all for your input.

NYC LSC : i'm in the rivedale section of the bronx right before Yonkers

They'll be fine, I just was trying to help you visualize.

Like I said I have been watching this site for a while and I appreciate all the input I got from everyone. Its good see so many trying to help out a newbie like me. Thanks again :)

Cool deal. Nice to have another local here.

I'm up in the Bronx pretty often at a friend's shop on Commerce Blvd., between E. Tremont and Zerega Aves :)

OK so it's been a couple of weeks since i got them but only had a chance to get some pics today. Though only from a cell phone since i can't find the cable for my digital cam it will have to do until i get a new cable. Let me know what you think :)

How do they ride? Any rubbing? And how much Was this great deal $$?

they ride great!! big diffrence from the 225/60/16

1300 total with delivery and all

What did you use to paint the calipers? They look great.

They look BETTER on the car then off. I have to admit I was scared when I saw the pics of just the wheels but they do look killer installed.

think I'l go with 20" also.1300 for all sure is a good deal too.

Just don't want anybody to be disapointed with the stance they end up with. I personally like them as flush as can with the car wheel well.



What size do you have on your ride 02LSE96LSC91SE84TC

Frat-man: I took off the calipers after i saw what they looked like under the rims (BLAH YUK) and painted them with an aluminum spray i had laying around from last Halloween that used to paint my little cousin’s tin man suit HAHAHAHA :)
