Been awhile since I have been on this site.
I have a few pics of the finished T-Bird/ Cougar TRX 16 inch and 17 in. "wheel covers". ( 16 x 8 front and 17 x 8 rear wheels)
Rear tires are 325-45-17 M&H drag radials. (these are the "old" 325's M&H made in 2006-2007) long story.
Fronts are 245-50-16

Yes, I use 3 inch long wheel studs and a second set of lug nuts. My biggest fear was wheel balance and possible torque loss on the lug nuts.

No fear anymore. I have done enough testing and re-checking the lug torque to convince me this is a safe setup. The wheel balance was dead on because the centers are well balanced. They ride nice and the TRX center plus the Center Line wheel weigh exactly the same as 10 hole Turbo Coupe wheels. :D

For fans of the Mustang TRX style, I currently run those on my bracket racer gray '83 Bird in my sig.
Those have a 2500 grit satin finished. Been thinking about polishing them like my T-Bird/Cougar ones.
Rear tires are 295-50-16 on 16 x 8 wheels and the fronts are 15 x 7 wheels with 215 tires.
