I finally got the rims on it, and I must say it looks pretty good. Once I get it painted I will put more pics.

Looks good! there is a 88 or so grand marq near me with similar rims and a similar color car.

Your right front tire is mounted backwards though....

Why do you say that?

[P72Ford]

Look at the tread pattern.

I like the way it looks too. Interesting color.

[uwantbreadbai]

Shoot, I didn't even I realize that, I had somebody else get it done for me because I had to work, that won't be a problem though will it.

Also, thats the factory paint, and I took the top off on the back there, so that part has primer. I plan on getting it painted a darker blue, like portdizzal's wagon.

I'm usually not a fan of big wheels, but DAMN that car is sharp!

[Blaze86Vic]

I said it before, 20" wire spoke wheels on stock ride height or lowered panthers look great!

Now drop that thing 2" and it'll look soooooo sweet!!

Oh, and just take it back to the store and tell them they screwed up. They will fix their mistake, and it won't be a big hassle.

It will be a problem, for the record- the tread pattern is designed to push water outward, but being backwards it will direct rain water toward the center of your tire and you could lose some steering ability in the rain. Get it fixed ASAP. As Johnny said, it shouldn't be a big hassle.

...and I'm with the others. That bitch is SHARP on those wheels!!

Nice Box! Ever get that B-pillar rust fixed?

'18in is as large as I would go personally. It starts to look a little Donk-ish after that IMO.

[mrltd]

Actually check the drivers side rear and see if the direction is correct on that one... Might just need those swapped... There should be a arrow on the sidewall that shows the direction the tire should be rotating if the car is going forward.

Yeah I fixed the rust. The pillar shown in the pic is the side that was rusted.

I wanted to go with 18 but these rims were too cheap to pass up.

20's look fine on panthers. some 22's look good too depending on style.

you cant go wrong with wire wheels. a friend of mine had a 94 grand marq on 20" wires like that, looked really good. then he went to a 22" with spinners. didnt look as good, but did not look like shit

[Southern_Pride]

I think I can clear 24's on mine. Im not trying though. But the thought has crossed my mind. I love big spokes on box. Looks awesome.

[DuceAnAHalf]

and your car needs a set of clear corners

Oh I forgot to mention, I haven't noticed any difference in braking or anything with these bigger rims, drives the same as before I put them on (just in case anyone was wondering.) That was one of the major reasons I waited so long to put them on, I was contemplating whether to spend the money to do the brake upgrade or just "wing it".
