What do ya guys think of my winter wheels?

[Jon04CTSV]

Put them on today, getting ready for the winter

255/60/18 Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow on 2009 Mustang GT Wheels (18x8.5). There's almost no clearance on the inside, but it doesn't touch or rub anything. Had these wheels for my Windstar, but sold that and bought the Explorer, so I had to use them somewhere

With my baby, which is getting stored in a couple weeks for winter

Those Stang wheels look good!

Thanks guys. They were supposed to be my summer setup for my Windstar. Unfortunately I sold that, so I sold the rubber off the rims, bought the Pirellis, and mounted them up to the Ex! It sure is a different look than the stock 20s. More trucky.

I love the Mustang Wheels...

Do you know if the center caps on that year Mustang wheels are interchangeable with other similar year Ford/Mercury wheel center caps?

I have been considering these for my 08 Mountaineer:

But I would like to use my stock Mercury or earlier year Marauder center caps on them.

They SHOULD work. The center caps I'm using on those Mustang wheels are from a 2002-2006 Explorer.

Those polished bullet/torquethrust are a near perfect look on your truck. Should have been factory wheels, not the chrome clad crap. And I feel the same way about the 20's.
So are the rims too close to the calipers or the tires to the control arms.
Wonder if a set of 17" bullets from a S-197 mustang might offer a greater selection of tires and better fit?
2 thumbs up, love the look.

Very very close to the control arm.

Since you have those awesome winter wheels... Is there any way you would like to part with your Stock 20" wheels? Thanks for your time.

No, this post is from October lol. I had bought the wheels for my Windstar which I ended up selling.

Nice looking wheels! How did you deal with the tire pressure monitors?
