All you wheel nuts here is a question

[Pucci]

Is it possible to get a rear wheel drive wheel on a front wheel drive car. I found a killer set of wheels but it is a RWD wheel. any opinions.

I would assume so. I mean there is a few ppl here running mustang rims on their GAs, and mustangs are rwd cars, so i really don't know

[Pucci]

I sure hope so. my car will look so sweet with the springs kit and these wheels.

You may have trouble with the offset. Check it out at a good tire and wheel business.

...contact tirerack Pucci... they're pretty knowledgable... mfuller knows his stuff too when it comes to that... i would imagine that the bolt pattern would be the main concern...

Dont always beleive what they advertise.......example....this tires say they are RWD but i checked w/ my local car shop and they will fit 99+ ga's w/ no problem......maybe its a misprint by advertisers or u can do some search on wheels ur interested in....:)

the rims that are close to the mustang cobra rims are FWD rims, they are the eagle alloy 077's, i currently have the 18" polished version on my GA. I know that '98 Cobra rims do fit GA's though.

As far as using a RWD rim on a FWD car you need to get an offset as close to the stock rims as possible, i believe my rims are +38mm offset

Honestly... Eagle wheels is such a class operation... how many rim sites do you see that concentrate on listing the offset, weight, load etc. of every rim? Thumbs up to them :thumbs: I think I will get my next rims from them...

Yes you have to be carefull of the offset. The 98 Mustang Cobra wheels fit on the Grand AM but when I needed to put the stock Lincoln Mark VII wheels on the Grand AM the front 2 didn't clear the brakes. Another nice thing about the Cobra wheels is that they sat flush with the top of the wheelwells and weren't sunk in like the stock wheels.

Ok the wheels i want wont fit due to offset. we can close this thred thanks for the help guys.
