Alright first of all the windows in my bird are messed up. Im pretty sure the gears have been stripped because on the drivers side it goes up easily if u help it along. It works fine going down but up the motor just spins and the window just chills. The passenger side window does not work at all unless you push it down or pull it up. Will new windown lifters from any tbird work? I have the smoker windows so im not sure if ther are any different. Secondly Im having the piggest pain in the ass finding wheels for my car that will fit. The only wheels I could find were centerlines and there like 600$ a wheel!! Ive found a few sites with 4 bolt rims but most of them are 16". WOuld it be possible to run a 9" rim with some spacers? 9" rims are more accesable and pretty cheep aswell. COuld you recooment some sites that have wheels that would fit? Its a 84 t-bird lowered about 2" all around. I was also looking around for wire wheels but they alll seem to be 5 bolt or reverse offset which is a no no.

You can buy gear replacement kits for the window motors. That will fix the driver side.

Does the motor run on the pass side? If you can move the window up and down by hand it sounds like the gears are shot in that one as well.
