I had GT Cobra Turbines on my Zephyr, and they totally suited the car...they actually made people think I had done the 302 conversion already, and didn't want to line up against my car (though it only had the 200 c.i.d straight six...lol)...

Looks neat

There is a green sedan running 10 holes in town. Looks a little off. I'm running 10 holes on my '84 Mustang GT. TRX metric rims are sitting in my parent's basement... :P

You had a Zephyr???? :o I would sell my Focus to rock a Fairmont Futura or Zephyr any day. I love the sleeper look of the shoebox Fox cars. Or, a 1985 LTD II LX with the 5.0... B)

Deffenetly Clearence Issues with a big Tire! To tell you the truth not sure if it was beacuse of the offset or the actual weight of the rim but I ran slower times than normal with my slicks mounted up to them. Would look cool with a low pro tire though.
