Thinking of purchasing a set of these for my 16 ecoboost vert.

American Racing AR105 TORQ THRUST M

Was wondering if anyone else had these wheels installed? If so, will I need spacers with them or do I need to specify any specific off-set for them?

Any feedback would be helpful.

TIA.

BTW, the car is completely stock as far as suspension goes....

I would imagine these would look good on the old body style.

Here is what they would look like on my car... not into all the black wheels being used today. Thought these would be a good compromise instead of chrome.

The car color is as close to guard as I could get it.

About the only aftermarket wheel I like. Where can I find stock specs to see which fits?

Post up the part number you ordered too. I didn't see anything that matches my stock wheel as far as offset, but I'm also running 20mm spacers.

Here is the part number from Big-O Tires website.

Price for 4 wheels, new lug nuts and reusing/rebuilding TPM sensors came to just a little over $1000.00 installed.

Got a surprise this morning... The dealer called and said my wheels had come in early so I got them installed. Here is a pic of the car with her new wheels. Before anyone comments... my car is not that dirty!!! That is snow falling while I was taking the picture. LOL

Can you get some better angles? Step back a little, down lower. The angel and lens parallax makes the rear tire look much smaller than the front tire. Your set up actually looks staggered in that photo.

Going to get her cleaned up in the morning in prep for my trip to Atlanta. Will take picture then. The setup is squared not staggered. I went through a staggered setup with my MR2 and not a fan of it. I like to rotate my tires.

It does give that oldschool look to it, I think its pretty neat.
