So what are y'all's thoughts on these.

Torq thrust wheels only look right on Ford/Mercury cars and trucks, Second set of wheels don’t do much for me, Third set of wheels don’t bother me, I’d throw them on a Mirada or Imperial without much thought, IMO.

Thanks. I kinda thought the same on the thrust. I just didn't know how a newer style like the black ones would look lol

Torque Thrusts compliment anything with chrome. They basically modernized Cragar S/S wheels. Don't care for the other options all that much. I wouldn't go taller than 17" with stock springs.

I do think they are on fords Alot but I've always liked how yours looked.

Torque thrusts look good on pretty much anything.
The other 2 would look way too new and goofy on older cars.

These are the specs on the thrusts

I like these too.

Those would compliment something with a darker color paint job. Can't go wrong with the style.

What about the specs? Would these fit with no problem.

The new wheel and tires came in but the tires are way too big

 

[Duke5A]

What size tires did you put on those rims?

I haven't installed them yet so I can still send them back. I went with a different rim to buy bad close to the last one. Let me go look for the details

 

[mopar master]

Rims are 17x7 0 offset. Sl215/60/17

Might be too tall for the front end. 215/60R17 is a 27.2" tall tire. You would have to run it to be sure. With as soft as the factory suspension is I wouldn't. The tallest I've ever run on the front is 26" and change.

Factory tire I believe is 205/70R15. That's a 26.3" tall tire. If you want all four to be the same size I would run 235/50R17; which is also a 26.3" tall tire. 235mm tread width will clear upfront on a 7" rim with no offset.

If you want an offset stance the rear wheel well will accommodate max height of 28" and the max width of 285mm (you'll have to give a little in either dimension, both at the same time won't fit)..

Thank you so much for that. I'm going to start looking.

Try this measuring calculator => Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets

I punched in the sizing Duke provided along with your posted sizing.

Here is another one which visually provides a comparison of both sizes => Wheel Offset Calculator
