5 Star Ponies on an 86
 

I have an 86 lx mustang with 5 Star ponies on it. The problem is the dang tires rub when you turn.I there a way to make these rims work with this car because they look pretty slick on the car. I would appreciate some help on this , Thanks.:o

I think they changed the inner fenders in 91(?) when they switched to the 16" rim to aleviate the tire clearance problem. If so a couple of junk yard innerfender wells off a newer stang should work. Where are they rubbing?

What size tires are on the front?

What size are you running in wheels. My 85 had pony's and they didnt rub at all? Did you add any ground effects?

My front tires ar 225/55R16's Good year eagles. The front of the tire rubs the frame it looks like and the back of tire rubs lower control arm i think, at least the metal is wore there. :D

No Ground effect on it 88fiveoh

Are those aftermarket Pony's like the genarics without the horse center or ford racing pony's I belive I was running 235's. they mighty be a bit tall, and the only other option is a backspaceing issue. What's the backspace on those rims?

I am not sure if they are generic of Ford rims, was no center caps on the car when i bought it, how can i tell? The backspacing on rims gets another I don't know answer hehe, how can i tell on that also.I am pretty much a Newbie to all this stuff.

I believe you can buy and add steering rack limiters. I think the H.O. steering racks came with them. You may want to check into that. Is your car a 5.0?

Have you been to http://foureyedpride.com/ ? It is geared towards ALL 79-86 'Stangs and there are very helpfull and knowledgible people there. It is another excellent resource, just like Mustang Works.

I believe in the back of the rim on the mounting surface it should be stamped.


RDMumfts Stang, I love the picture you have for your car.. What did u use to do that? Awsome...
