Racing wheel specs

I need to know this before I order. What is the bolt circle and rear spacing measurements to make a 16x8 rim work?

If you go with a 16X8 wheel your shift schedule will be off. Look for the 18" '05 & up Mustang wheels. There are a direct replacement for the MM wheels.

As long as the OVERALL wheel/tire outside diameter is within about 1/2", there will be no noticable shifting issues.

As for the wheel, you will need a 16x8 with 5x4.5 (inch) or 5x114.3 (mm). The offset on the factory 18 is 50mm. You could probly get down to 35mm, depending on tire width, you may rub on the squat when launching.

There should be tons of wheels available in the 16x8 with +40 or +45 offset and that's what I'd go with.

IIRC Reinhart is running 16x8 CVPI wheels with drags. Perhaps give him a call. Heck, he may even be able to send you the wheels, tires, or whole setup!

Also, contact John Nero. His setup is AWESOME, looks good, and grips it's arse off. I think he's on 18x10's, but I don't rightly remember.

Good luck Dom. PM any time for help with wheel/tire fitment.
