Anyone tried these wheels?

Do you have any pics of your car from the rear? I remember when a was walking back to my car and there was a newer mustang parked next to my car, it had some nice wide tires and mine don't fill the wheel wells much :(

One of the main reasons I want bigger tires is that I plan on auto crossing and doing some track days. I know I will need some big brakes to reduce brake fade, so I want to have room for upgrades. Also I'm looking for a nice big contact patch.

I have looked into wheel adapters but most of them are aluminum. Have you come across any steel ones? Ultimately I wouldn't feel comfortable using those on a car that will be driven spiritedly.

I've got these. I can tell you you can't fill the wheel wells out any more than I have, I least not width-wise, without mini tubbing or raising the back of your car to 4x4 ride height.

I wouldn't worry about the wheel adaptors, at least not if they're well made- 6061 or better and good quality studs. There's a lot less strength in the face of the rim itself if you're thinking the spacers will be the "weak link". I've run 1" aluminum adaptors like the one I posted on both 4x4's and cars. They're a pretty popular off-roading item. I've also seen them on more than a few autoX and road race cars. As long as they're torqued properly and you check to make sure they're tight periodically you shouldn't have any issues.
