Pictures of MT ET Streets mounted on Cobra Bullet Wheels on Magnum

Ok for those who wanted to see pics.
Someone said the wheels might not be exactly the same bolt pattern and could fly off. The wheels fit snugly with no clearance issues what so ever bolts still tight after 2 days of driving. Missed the track last night cause of work but will test it out next Wed. Car hooks like mad and the lower gearing from the shorter tire is very "seat of the pants" noticable! There is a RT charger on here who ran 13.1 @ 105mph w/ the same tires i think he had an intake and SCT.

and ET street ARE dot approved. dont take them in the rain though...and if you get stuck in the rain with them you can either a)stay UNDER 25 mph or b)park the car.

upon test fiting the wheel the stabilizer bar seems to be an issue but once you lower the car off the jack the tire/wheel go up into the wheel well and clearace is then ok. but yeah they fit, we'll see how they do at 100 mph.

The bolt pattern on the new Mustangs is 5x4.5 or converted 5x114.3, the LX bolt pattern is 5x115. It may not sound like much but it makes a diference and on wheels you want to be exact.

Ok....but someone please explain to me why if it is not exactly perfect is there a potential problem running a slightly different bolt pattern? What can actually happen?

especially if these wheels are not daily drivers and only serve a purpose on track days and I make sure lugs are tight between runs???? What is the danger?

**maneval69** · 03-24-2006, 09:52 AM

If the studs are off center of the bolt holes, the lugnuts will center them when they tighten. This adds a shearing force on the studs that would not be there if the bolt hole pattern was correct. This will fatigue the studs over time.

finally an explanation! Thanks Maneval.
