These are alot better pics....As you can see the fit is amazing. Could not be happier with the finished fit. Tires came from our shop in a 245-45-18 front & 275-40-18 Rear...

any possible way you can make fr500s in the stang bolt pattern but with your offsets?

Beacause of the spoke design and how it ties into the bolt pattern section of the wheel. No that wheel can not be casted in our pattern. We have already tried and the wheel failed the safety specs. I don't have any more information other than that on the test build the caster did for us.

I know about them failing in the mark pattern, I converted to 4.5 and need a 10 inch wheel in the right backspacing :)

I would like to see deep dish all around or will that not work?

This is the cast that is avaialble to me. Because of the specs of the wheels and the fact that they are a cast wheel. The lip in the front and the rear would almost look the same. IMO that takes away from a staggered look when the front and rear lip is almost exact...

So what your saying is you have to go staggered or find another wheel combination? It would be cool with it either way, just wanting what the options are.

These wheels are only sold as a staggered set as shown in the photos. They all went to the paint booth together so the finish is a match.

The 18X10 rear would not work on the front...Deff not...Sorry if I am misunderstanding you with your inquery.

Appreciate the interest as well as all the kind words.

Nope, thats exactly what I wanted to know thanks for the info. I still that those wheels are nice as hell and they are in my top 5 for wheel choices.
 
That looks great! I have 285/35/18s in the back, they are a little shorter than these tires, I think these sizes that Baggedtaco used are better for a T-bird unless the car is lowered.
 
IMO once you get up to a 275MM tire you have already accomplished the huge rear tire look...This specific size also accomplishes stock tire height. This is nice in itself...

The 245-45-18/275-40-18 combination is the perfect size for these cars (with respect to tire height) and being a match height set that fits these wheels perfect just adds to the final finish of the setup. For these reasons I personally lean toward the 18" wheel options for these cars. Tire selection is great in all respects.

Have yet to put a set of these on a MarkVIII...Im extremely excited to see the results though. In fact...If you want to be the first to put these on I will make sure you get a DEAL...Serious inqueries only though. ;-)

Thanks again for all the kind words as well as your support.

These looks sweet. I'm sold on the Saleens though. Do a set of staggered Saleens next spring/summer and I'm in.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves...lol I don't even have a cast for that wheel so I doubt its going to happen. I need to get rid of these before I start building something else...hahaha

Thanks again for all the kudos!!!

Lol... I was about 5 seconds away from buying a set of Saleens for my car, but I found some NIB ten spokes... gonna keep the CE a sleeper.
 
I would still like to see how some 275/50/17, and255/50/17`s would look on one of these cars. I think the car is big enough to carry it off if the fronts would fit. I also have always liked having a little rubber rake thrown in.

A little more available size combo that would be similar is a 255-45-17/285-40-17....Still not the most available size combination when wanting a matched set of tires not to mention they are .6" short of being stock height. I am doubting you would ever find a match set in the size combo you have specd out...;-)

The Mark rolls on the same size tire as the Tbird SC which is also the exact size specs thats on the Green Tbird in the photos... =) I can appreciate wanting more sidewall if thats what you like or need for your own reasons.

Cheers
