    Wheel Spec Verification

    Hello all,

    I recently purchased new wheels and tires. They should all be here this week.

    Rims
    -15x7
    -3.75 in Backspace
    --6 mm offset

    Tires
    -Front; 235/60/15
    -Rear; 255/60/15

    ---Will these clear the fenders, brakes, hubs and everything front and rear and bolt on with no problem?

    ---How will these look on my box? Width and track wise.


    I have tried to do as much searching as possible, and this is the size that i decided would work best. But Im a newb to Panthers, so I wanted some more seasoned opinions.
    Thanks in advance

    Basically you are looking at a stock setup except that the rear tires are a bit wider, and the front tires are going to be a little on the shorter side. That's the upper limit for tire size as far as those wheels go.

          Absolutely. I hope they look good. Ive been a Honda guy(and still am) since I was 16, and I know what looks good on them; im still getting used to the ins and outs of "pantherism".

          BTW-grandmarq and crownvic rock. I love my Panther and plan on buying a whale by years end and an aero by next summer.

          These cars have lots of potential and I am enjoying learning about them.
