not a fox but: Mustang Wheels on an Eclipse

I noticed that the tires on my Mitsubishi eclipse were pretty bald. And I had a pair of stang wheels laying around waiting for a 5-lug swap, so i figured, what the hell, I'll try them to see if they work. Here's the result (and yes, the car's very dirty):

it sticks out about .5" past the wheel wells. Nothing to be alarmed about. It doest rub in the front either when I crank the wheel. Comes very close but no rub

Looks pretty good really. Just would have to solve the horse somehow if you were gonna keep them on. :hick:

I've been noticing a lot of GM fwds with Mustang wheels lately too.

I found out not too long ago that my 93 eclipse shares the same lug pattern as the 5 lug stangs and rangers :-D altho some wheel/tire combo's would have a funny offset.  btw baxo... your eclipse is too new :-p
