i was looknig thru a pro 50 magazine and i saw a guy with a 93 lx and he had 17x8 ponies all around. i want to put those on my 89 gt just in the rear so i could put bigger tire. could anyone help me out with the company that makes those and what if you could help is there another option besides the cobra r to put on my mustang that would make it look clean. thanks alot for the help - tony

Pony R's....They make the 17" 91-93 Pony

If you going to keep it four lug and you want 17's why not 93 Cobra wheels?...

the 1993 cobra rim has the wrong backspacing for his car and is only 7.5 inches wide [patriot]

Backspacing, what are you talking about? [Confused]

He has an 89GT....245-45-17's on a 7.5" wide is fine for a Fox....

The rear track width is 3/4" longer on each side on a 1993 cobra. If you run '93 cobra wheels then your rear wheels are going to tuck into the fenderwells a lot more and it is going to look like shit! unless you run spacers which isn't recommended. Oh, and then you'll have to correct the offsett in the front by having to purchase'93 cobra rotors. If you want to go with 93 cobra wheels wait until they make the replica's for fox-bodies (non-cobras) from what I hear they will be coming out in a few months, but 17x8 pony r's are cool and not alot of people have them [Roll Eyes] .
Just be original! Good luck!! [patriot]
