not a fan of the finish, but the wheels are hot.
Time to upgrade those brakes too.

I got them off BDR5OH a couple years ago. They were in pretty good shape when I got em, I just scuffed em up a bit, then sprayed em with satin paint.

> And as far as the rubbing issues, I did a little fender work to be on the safe side. My inner fenders are banged in pretty good, and I have about an inch and a half clearance inside there, the outer fender is rolled so I have zero issues with cutting the tire. The car is actually sitting alot lower than it normally does because I have my upper motor in the trunk (heads, supercharger, intake manifold, alternator, valve covers, etc) Me and TurboLs1 actually jumped up and down in the back of the car with all that shit in there, and it only went down a half an inch or so more, and no tire touching anywhere, so I think I’ll be alright.

> Lxtasy: I had the exact same concerns you have, so I actually talked to the wheel designer. He told me his sole purpose for building this wheel 10" wide instead of 11" was so that 315’s will fit on a fox, and that’s why he did the offsets on the rears the way he did as 11" wide wheels don’t fit. He also assured me that the wheels outer lip is actually contoured out to fit a 315. The inner lip is normal so that the wheel has no issues rubbing the inside fender, and also to make it easier to mount the tires on the rim from the backside. I’ve done my homework on this one before I made my purchase.

> After the whole thing was said and done I spent about $1800.00 for the wheels and tires.
Oh I’m sure you’ve done your homework, I was just bringing up a concern as I did the same things you’ve mentioned (rolled fender lips, jumped on the back, etc.) In my case all my homework and testing said I’d be okay, truth set in during real world driving and I’d rub. I hope you don’t see the same fate as you’ve got a nice ride!
That garage has some pretty impressive goods in there…can’t wait to see these cars this year:)

I’ve had 275’s on my car for the last five years and had no problems whatsoever with rubbing. Do you have 5 lug axles?

Yep, 5 lug SN95 axles. Each side is 3/4" wider than stock, and the ROH’s on the car are offset accordingly in the rear to accomodate this. It’s an 8.5" wheel, which leaves a ton of room on the inside . I was looking to have the wheel widened to a 10"-10.5" or so but other things in life have come up and that has been put on hold. I was hoping to run a 315, but in reality I’d probably go with a 285 street radial. When I ran a 275 it was because the tire bulged enough to scrape the fender lip. Had I had a wider wheel the tire would have stretched back (in a good way) on the wheel to avoid rubbing. I took a measurement with the 275 and the 245 that is now on it and I found that the 275 contact patch matched the 245…all because the 275 was too wide for the wheel.
I’d like to check your set up out in person, I have a soft spot for those Saleen wheels:)

as I said before man, looks really nice! I am prob going to be running a 255 out back on mine this year, I think anything over that on a stock rim is going to be overkill.
