Ah but they are also gonna take you out of a stock class in SCCA or even E Prepared Class in solo I or II. Not worth it if you plan on going to the top in racing. You're better off sticking with the stock wheel dimensions and spending the $$$ on wheels that were meant for a non-ford to begin with.

okay, maybe not all that shocked.......the difference in offset is within the "stock" rules, though

.... Sorry to break the news to ya Bill. Remember E prepared max size unless it came with the wheel size other is 16x6 I think. I think you could light up all 4 wheels through an entire autox an SVX had to run those.

Gee, Ben, you're just full of happy news
Next thing you're going to tell me is that my 245/45-16 Hoosiers are too wide for G-Stock















okay, maybe I already knew that, too

-Bill (looking for some SSR rims in 16x7.75 with 50-55mm of offset....oh, yeah, and a corporate sponsor to pay for them!! )

Naw, tires are just fine provide you can stuff 'em onto the stock size rim which 245s you can.
