I think they would look fine on there.  Everyone seems to have the R's so why not go with something different.

Yes, they would look on Fred.  How would they look is the better question. Cheesy

If you remember, I had a thread about the same very rim and decided against it in favor of the Steeda Ultra Lite II's which I don't regret at all.  They look killer on my car.

For your car, keep what you got IMO.  The shine from those anthracide (I can never spell that word right) rims wouldn't look that great on a white car.  You're fine with what you've got, spend the cash on something in the performance department.

I wonder what the backspacing is.  I think I'll have room.  The fenders are already rolled.

The guy wants 100/wheel.  I can get them new for 110 from a site online.

100 plus shipping is what he is asking.  Although these were supposedly never used, I would be better off just buying them new.

WR has the anthracite colored variety that would look killer on ol' Fred.

Not only that but you may be able to save on shipping since you'll be here next month and this outfit is in Katy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the rears will have a deeper dsih than the fronts?

I like that idea.  Have always like the different offsets on cars front to back.  

I'll have to call them and get a little more info.

Well if you wanted to, I believe you could get the same dish (I guess that's the word) all around but if given a choice of having deep dished rear rims, I'd chose the later.  Looks more aggressive that way.

My new Mosers sent the rear wheels a little more than 1/4 out from stock on each side.  It was a noticeable change over the Ranger axles I took off. 

Although I do like a deeper dish in the back as opposed to the front, I'd have to be 100% sure the the 275/40's I am running would fit under the already rolled fenderwells with no rubbing.

I get to go put a down payment on mine next week.  It's a regular 1911 unless I change my mind while up there and get the ultra carry.

How did the Ranger axles hold up?

The Ranger axles held up fine until I got a flat one night, when the tire damaged the E-brake cable on the left side.  Caused the brakes to hang while driving which in turn lead to heat that ended up causing the bearing to scorch the axle.  I began to notice the noise a little while later, and confirmed it when I took it apart to upgrade the brakes back there to Cobra discs.  Had to put the project on hold until the Mosers showed up.

If I were you, I'd just get the Mosers right away instead of the Ranger axles, as they are SN-95 based axles and give the car a better stance.

I suck at photochop.

But if anybody wants to take a crack at it, go ahead.   Deal






And if you're really bored, try and put photochop the wheel in here, with my discs and suspension behind it.
