Chuck,
 
This is exactly what I could NOT remember, thank you so much!
 
TPR guys: info to make the wheels work if they don't already.
 
all the best,
 
"IIRC when I did this experiment about six years ago.....the deal was for  
Mustang wheels from AFS (or ASF). Jim Duncan had these wheels on his stock 
fenderedPantera and they worked fine. I needed some seventeen inch wheels for  
my Pantera and we proceeded to test fit his wheels to my car. IIRC the fronts  
were the 17x8 BS 5.24 and they fit fine.

The rears were 17x9 or 10. They  fit Jim's car and they did not fit mine due to 
interference with the lower part  of the upright. It looked like a 1/4" or 3/8" 
spacer would have fixed the  problem. Jim recalled that his car has aftermarket 
brakes front and rear. My  brakes were stock. It appears that the aftermarket 
hat and rotor moved the wheel  out about 3/8" and permitted Jim to use the 
bargain AFS Mustang wheels without  problem. I didn't want to use a spacer and 
ended up with different seventeen  inch wheels.

That is my story and I am sticking to it.

Warmest  regards, Chuck Engles"
