OP ReynoldSVT New CEG\'er R Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 43 Michigan	I was looking to get some new wheels for my CSVT. I was on the Ford website and came across these: http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=6154 The first question I have, is will the wheels fit? The lug pattern looks correct, but I don't know about the 17" x 7". Secondly, I will have to get new tires. Any suggestions about what kind of tires to buy. Also if you know a good place to get them (CTA or SPMotorsport).
