I know this has been hashed up many times before. It's just that I've been looking at all of these new sport vehicles like the Charger, 300C, Grand Prix and other vehicles are equipped with 18" and larger wheels. What would be a good combo size for the Mark to make it look beefier and sportier, but not ghetto?
 
17-18, maybe a 19 if it's not loaded with chrome. Then again there aren't as many tire choices for 19s, and they tend to be more expensive.
 
20's are coming stock on alot of stuff too!

20's out back and 19's up front
 
18x8 up front 18x9 or 9.5 rear. With a nice beefy tire! Maybe black with a chrome or polished lip. Thats my 2cents.
 
I have these on my Mark in 20's. Mine are reverse though, black inside with chrome wishbones, the lips are still chrome. I think it looks good. Many people don't realize they are 20's. I think its all the chrome that makes it look ghetto.

245/45/18's all around look like they belong there to begin with.
 
The best combo is what makes YOU happy!
Ghetto aint cheap my friend.
Do what you like and get ROLLING!!!!

Im so sick of Bullet and Cobra R style on the Marks, they look good and I have Cragars which are Bullets but IMHO this is THE HOTTEST set up I have seen yet on a Mark! LOOK AT THAT LIP!!!

I agree with ONEBADMK8 those are some niiiice wheels. I'm runnin Moda Rotela (somethin like that) 18's with 245/40 in the front and 255/45 in the rear,kinda has the sporty hot-rod look with the fatter tire in the rear,but to each their own when it comes to what they like. If i could have had what i wanted they would be the blank style wheels (the kind with NO design) with a deep lip on 'em,but i dont have the ca$h flow to buy those. there's my 2cents-of-nothin for ya lol...later guys

I could not agree more, that car is one of the nicest marks that I have ever seen. I like everything but the size of the wheels, I would go with 18"s instead.
 
Geno, I like those wheels on that Mark. Is that Mark lowered or is that the standard height? What are the wheel and tire size on that Mark?
 
I don't remember off hand. The guy who owns the car posted them a while ago and I snagged the pics. They are Ruff's but thats all I know. Porsche wheels rock on a Mark.

Ok I just looked at it again and he s got 20"x10"s with 275/40/19s in the back, and 19"x9.5"s with 245/45/19s in the front.
This guy has got some steam rollers on that thing, but it looks good as hell and the home made front bumper(grnad prix bumper w/03 ranger foglights) is nice too

I agree. Just a bit too big.

i love that car and every time i see pics it looks better and better. and its a grand am bumper the grand prix is too wide and would have to be sectioned drastically!!! i was gonna attempt to copy him but couldent get a grand am bumper in decent condition
 
blue_t has created a very nice set-up, I love it.

If you're not looking for 20's check out brad's selection. "baggedtaco" here on the board. He offers a few styles in 18x9 with a +36mm offset that is perfect for the mark. His wheels are on mine, shown in sig. No rubbing, and... I don't know if it's considered 'ghetto' or not, but I get compliments from 10 year olds all the way up to guys in their 80's.

I'm running 255 40 18's up front and 275 40 18's in the rear. Love it. Good luck.
 
Hey,any news on how he took those headlighs apart and painted the inside?????...I'd really like to know,even though I'm sure its on this site somewhere I have been ALL over and couldnt find anything about it,Thanks.
