Search Fail 10.5" Factory Wheels

[351stang]

I may be going "full retard" here, but I haven't successfully found/searched a good thread on 10.5" wide 03-04 Cobra OEM chrome style wheels. I'm sure there are 450,000 threads on this.

I'm interested in chrome OEM style wheels and have seen 10.5" replacements at LMR and American Muscle for $175.

• Are there any issues running a 315-35-17 Nitto DR with these wheels without spacers?
  
• Are the low profile upper IRS frame bolts necessary?
• I'd prefer to buy from LMR due to them being semi-local (Texas).......any pros/cons?

*I'm currently running the Nitto 315-35-17's on the factory 9" wheel with no issues, although the size doesn't run square on the narrow rim. Nitto's measure narrower than BFG or Mickey Thompsons.

I changed the search terms to not use (10.5") and got lots of results. Apparently the " screwed up the results.

Thanks. I went with 10.5" LMR replicas, 315-45-17 ET Street SS, .25" MM spacers, and low profile IRS bolts. Fits great!
