I agree with this...get a small spacer for the back rims...the 5th gen offset isnt quite right for a 4th gen.

OP, what exactly did you do to fit these? Reason I ask is because a buddy of mine wants to buy these and make 35th anniversary mock up of them for his 35th LE.

Although these are the same height as the previous wheels, they look light years better. Im thinking the biggest part of that is the proper tire fitment (needed that extra sidewall and no cheap stretch look).
Overall I like the way those look on 4th gens.

Thank you guys. @mr.z/28 the wheel shop machined them in order to fit. They done it for free but I believe its about sixty bucks for all four wheels.
@Tirefire its a custom mix I did with gun metal grey and a blue mixer

I'm really digging that color plus the wheels set it off. Headlights are different but that's not always bad want to see it when it's done keep up the good job

Looks really good. Wheels contrast nicely with the color of the car. Now you need a good camera for some good quality photos.

The wheel look suprisingly good. Every other application of 5th gen wheels to a 4th gens that I have seen has been dreadful....at best.

Do you have a thread for those headlights? I hate the pop up air breaks that are stock on our cars but I'm not that into the breathless performance ones.
