Thanks Tony,
Now, I found the tires that I want but of course they are in 17".

So now is the question, Is there any way that Compomotive 16" & 17" centers on the HB Modular are the same bolt pattern where the inner bolts up to the rim. In other words, Can one purchase 17" outer rims and bolt them up directly to the 16" centers.

Would it be more cost effective to just purchase the 17" rims from either Compomotive, PS Eng or whoever else.

I would think that a lot of the cost in the HB Modular rims are the center sections, but maybe not.

My problem is that I have an unused set of 16" rims (all be they are over 6 years old) and can not find the correct size tires that I want in the same brand and tread pattern.

If anyone knows of a remedy please let me know because I really do not feel like spending $2500 on another complete set of rims.

Thanks guys,

Terry, I would think that have two different rim sizes would be more noticable than having two different tread patterns. No one would know but you and you can't see it from the driver's seat. Take the easy way out. Buy the tires, drive the car and motor on! You can always drop bit bucks on new wheels after everything else is done.

Default Compomotive wheels

Well, I got a set of Speedway Motor's tubular upper A-arms. They are about 1 1/4 inches narrower than the stock Mustang II stamped pieces. I can now turn the front wheels lock to lock and there are no interference issues between the rim and new upper A-arms. Problem solved.
