Looking for some 17" wheels with tires for my LeSabre. Not too picky on what they are, but if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
The problem is that the lawsuit didn't go near as well as expected so I have a budget of only $280 or *MAYBE* $300. For four wheels and tires. Craigslist has been a bust.
I'm not optimistic.
(5-lug wheels, Mustang or Buick will fit. Not sure about other cars)

Try a junk yard (such as Koontz Mustang salvage, east of west st by kellogg) Also try Air Capital Salvage just north of the flood control on broadway

Cragar Soft 8s would look great, as would D-Windows.

I'm calling Air Capital here soon. My dad is good friends with the owner :D
Also "koontz" sounds like a Russian saying a harsh word referencing the female anatomy.

Cragars are hella-expensive though

Good I know they have some mustangs and camaros there... Also lol

But they would look sooooo good though. And are probably available on a rolled over XJ.
Also, any 4.5x5/114.3x5 should fit, with the proper hub centering rings. Unless the hub is too small, of course.

17" is pretty hard to find, though. I'll keep an eye out at any salvage yards I go to.

If you can live with 16s, I love the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports... Can't speak for wheels, though.

Nah, 16s would still have too much sidewall unless I got bias-ply and thus had stiffer sidewalls, but I think those are super expensive.
