Default 02 Wheels on a 96 Formula

A friend of mine fixed up his formula and stuck my rims on it. I think it looked so good it was worth posting some pictures.

I don't like the body kit, but the color of the car looks great and the wheels seem to set it off nicely.

It is a WingsWest kit, he said is fit like a$$ tho. Tires are 17 Inch Yokohama A032R H-Compound (Track) Tires. P315/35ZR17 rear, and P275/40ZR17 front. On widened rear rims, with 1" spacer.

He only backed it out of the garage to take pictures. He's not actually driving it in winter, but had no problem driving in that little bit of snow.

yeah keep posting the pictures!

Did you have to BFH the fender wells to fit the 315''s or did those 1'' spacers do fine?

where did you get them widened? how much did it cost?


Looks absolutly great, which is why I ask...I also own a 1996 Formula M6, and I'm just about ready to make the move away from these stock ABSers

I don't know much about the fitment of the rear rims. I think this car will get another photo shoot when paul gets it back home. I'll get some good overall pictures, spacers and rims. He is going to keep the spacers but my rims are coming back to me. So I'll get pictures of normal tires with the spacers as well. For those that are intersted. I'll get info about 315 fitment and rubbibg issues.
