for sale, ARE Le Man wheels (7x9/17x11) +Nittos tries $1500

Just testing the waters here to see if there is any interest in these wheels I have. They are American Racing Le Mans wheels. These are EXTREMLY rare wheels. I am the only one in the country running these on a 3rd gen and there is proberbly under a half a dozen with them on a 4th gen. The fronts are 17x9.5 and the rears are 17x11. The specs for them are for a 4th gen. These wheels where bought off John LeBlanc(former owner of MBA) They are in almost perfect condtion. They just need a good hand polish and they will look flawless. I had the centers painted gloss black at a local body shop. I also have a spare 9.5" wheel as well. I would like to sell them as a set with the tires. The tires have at the most 15 miles on them. Fronts are 275/40/17 Nittos 555s and the rears are 315/35/17 Nitto drags. I really dont want to get rid of them due to the fact that I must get new wheels but I just want something on my car that actually fit w/o the need for spacers. I run spacers for these on the front and I had to swap to a 4th gen rear. I want to go back to a 3rd gen rear so I can get wheels with a deeper lip to them and still have wheels that fit. Asking $1500 for it all. WELL WORTH IT

The wheels are currently black with a polished lip. I posted as pic of the wheels fully polished to show what they can look like if the paint is removed. I live in Eastern Mass( westport)

As for the specs on these wheels, the front are the same as a SS wheel and the rears are the same as the ZR1 11" wheels. I believe the offset of 50MM or something. let me see if I can dig the info up

There are two 17" x 9.5" ( 56mm offset with 7.4" backspacing) rims for the front and two 17" x 11" ( 50mm offset/7.93" backspacing) for the rear. These are same as the Grand Sport offsets. The lug pattern is 5x120.65mm.

the above specs may be off a little bit since I have seen so many different specs out there for wheels that kit the 4th gens. All I can say is that they are where made to fit a 4th gen f body with the rear not sticking out.
