17" Mopar steelies

[85crownHPP]

Im pretty sure they are the new gen rwd 300m chassis wheels... the rear wheel drive ones... the old fwd 300Ms prolly have the fwd offset wheels, and they didnt have 17's that Im aware of. Arent the old ones fwd?

but yes this is bolted right on - no spacers. they definitly are the correct offset... no rubbing or anything (that Im aware of so far)
I havent done any "high speed" in it or put many miles on them yet, but so far its smooth as butter.

Hmm cool. One of those would make a great spare for me...

Looks funny....

[85crownHPP]

YOU look funny! :p

here's some closer-er ups

Can we get a pic of your rear?

I wanna see what they look like from the back









ok did that just sound gay?

[85crownHPP]

sure - give me a few days... the car's not parked were I reside currently

[torquelover]

ok did that just sound gay?

Yes, it did sound sorta Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I would like to see a rear or 3/4 rear view OF THE CAR as well. Do you have some dog dish caps you could rest on there for the pic?

[85crownHPP]

3/4 view??? wassaaat???


one of the two previous attached pics is OF THE CAR with the 17"s on, did you miss it??

oh and no caps... Id like to get a couple sets though... they are easy to find on ebay but not usually with the nuts... they add a lot to the cost usually.
I'd like the flatter ones...

A rear view like post #55, but more towards the back, to see how the offset looks. I heard the flatter metal ones won't clear early style hubs, but with those 17s, maybe they will work?

[85crownHPP]

ah, thats true. prolly wont work with these either, but once I do the big brakes...

[interceptor1985]

naw, straight up rear view of the car, I want to see how far they poke out the sides from back there

[85crownHPP]

they dont poke out at all!!!

[mrltd]

definately needs bigger tires. Looks like minispares all around!

Also needs the ford centercaps

They kind of look like the 17" steelies on the '03+ Crown Vics. Not a fantastic look, in my opinion, but decent, and certainly the 17" diameter is advantageous enough to excuse the fact that they don't look beautiful. Some center caps and trim rings (do they make 17" trim rings?) would help. Either way, cool that you figured this out!

I didn't figure that they would stick out, I thought that they may end up sitting in tooo far. I am also awaiting the rear view.

Thanks
