I'd say that it shouldn't be a problem, why not just fit them on the car a take a test drive. If they fit put up a pic of them on Roger R SVT/SHO Society SE MI rep 2000 CSVT #1253 of 2150 silver frost/midnight blue 2-8" dark blue racing stripes Mequiars...simply the best!

The guy is extremely pissed at his friend. It was a set of 5 wheels and tires minus the center caps.... for $425.00. I will get rid of the center caps some how.... the search for tires and wheels begins again. 99 SE Sport..ATX SVT exhaust SVT zip tube and air cleaner assembly Tinted windows 17" Cougar Zn Wheels
