Finally got all the pieces together and washed the Ex...
MAMBA M3 17"x8", with 20mm offset
Firestone Destination A/T 265/70R17
Hubcentric Rings
Gorilla wheel locks
Wheels/Tires/TPMS Sensors came to $1376, balanced and shipped, from Mr Wheel Deal (http://mrwheeldeal.com/a/). I was a little apprehensive not going to some of the "major" Internet vendors, but this guy is 5-star in the book of customer service! Answered all my questions (a lot of them!), in a timely manner. I'd do business with him any day...
The Hubcentric Rings were $55.95 from JustForWheels. The 70.3mm ID was a little tight to install, considering a fair amount of rust layered the hubs, but a rubber mallet and some polishing with a Dremel took care of that.
The Gorilla wheel locks were $47.99 + $9.95 S/H for a set of 20 from SummitRacing.
Altogether, baby got a $1,500 makeover.
I'm still waiting for the Ford TPMS tool to retrain those darn annoying sensors, but I had to show off the girl.
With the 20mm offset (OEM was 44mm) and the wider tires, the package is just about flush with the fender trim:
The Destination A/T are as aggressive as I want to get:
There is some minor rubbing at full turn, more noticeable in reverse, but I should be able to move the black shroud back a bit to clear:
Inner clearance is not a problem:
