Quick cross-lace wheels question (Page 1/1)
Acroyer SEP 03, 10:22 AM
Hi Guys,

I have an 88 GT that has the corss-lace wheels. The front wheels have the laces almost flush with the aluminum rim edge. The rear wheels have a lip where the laces are set back from the edge almost an inch. I hope I'm describing that well enough to give you a mental picture.

Are these the correct wheels, and if so, which should be on front an which on the rear? Are they the same width, just a different wheel face?

Thanks.

The front wheels have very little lip and are 6" wide.
The rears have a wider lip and are 7" wide.

Ok, thank you. That's just what I needed to know.

Yup - only the 88s had this because of the redesigned wider front suspension.

Earlier cars had identical wheels all around.
So 87 GTs had the 15"x7" wheels front and rear.
