Wheels
 
Good evening

I am trying to decide on wheels, Has anyone had any experiance with American Racing Wheel 427 style or Team III I want to stay with Lugs I am putting Yokohama 15s on

Thanks for your help or input

Flatred,

I have the AR Torque Thrust. No problems. I don't know if that helps answer your question. I have heard others say the Yokohama avids were discontinued but for the money was a great tire, just not availible.

Just bought a set of TeamIII wheels. I was unable due to backspace requirements to use knock-offs so bolt on wheels were my only choice. I received my wheels within two weeks and couldn't be happier with the wheels or the service from Jin and Scott. When I explained my situation with the corvette suspension I received a return call from Scott who stayed on the line with me as I removed a front wheel and made caliper measurements. After this he was able to give me another 1/4" of backspace. The wheels came with lugs, polished spinners, and lug nut covers.

contact bob at vintage wheels. he made me a set of 427 american racing wheels with lugs for my superformance. they are awesome

Bob at Vintage hooked me up also. Great guy to deal with. He ordered my American Racing wheels with custom backspacing and then had the centers powder coated black. I then found some black lug nuts and its hard to tell they are not spinners.

Well..... DV and I are waiting for winter to break :CRY: so he can get the paint finished. The car will be a Ford deep blue pearl clearcoat with Ford wimbledon white strips. The blue is the same color code as my F150.

Here's the firewall in the blue... (and DV napping again under the car :LOL:)

Flatred,
Click on the camera icon under my name. That should take you into my gallery of pics.

If I didn't have the wheels on the car already I would look into some knock offs. I like the wing nut look.

I thank you both! I hope someday we meet on the road

Thanks

Capt eddie,

Is your bolt pattern 4 1/4?

capteddie 03-08-2009 09:29 AM
uh... ya. they should be standard 5x4.25

G_Edmonds 03-08-2009 09:41 AM
More than likely it's 5X4.5.

Greg is right. I just dug out the order. Sorry for the miss information.

flatred46 03-08-2009 02:48 PM
Thanks to both of you for your help. I have 4.25, and I think that was standard on mustang II. I did not see that American racing wheel makes the 427c in that bolt pattern. Looks like an axel change for the rears unless anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks again
Phil


I agree on Southern girls!

Phil,
A good machine shop can rdrill those - not recmmendd for any racing venues, or SVO sells a package of new 5 lug axels and discs/drums.
