    Any reason these would not work?

    I am looking for some cheap 17's. I really like the split 5 spoke wheels that came on newer Grand Prix.

    Any suggestions on wheels? I want something fairly light and kinda like the idea of factory wheels.

    if those are they same wheels they put on the 4 cyl 2010 Fusion SEL, which I think they are because that's what my wife drives and they look the same, you don't want them because tires are more expensive for that size. we looked around last fall for new snow tires and ended paying 700 for a set, and those were about the cheapest ones we could find. its an odd size that doesn't have a good selection of tires.

    I don't think he's putting them on a Fusion, he's putting them on a Grand Prix so he could use 225/55/17 which runs from $100.

    That is correct. So you guys think they would work fine on a Grand Prix?

    Better yet sell me those 17's off yours!

    Just checked, I'm finding 67.1mm for the Fusion and the GPs are 70.3mm. So they won't work

    I was gonna say, it looks darn close, but for sure measuring or test fitting is in order.

    3mm in the world of hub bores means not fitting unless you modify the wheels.

    or run a stupid amount of spacer.

    Too bad. Those are sharp wheels.

    Go Ford for always producing good looking wheels.

    LOL, my lathe is only 9X19 and the milling machine is only 7X18 so I would have to have a rotary index table (I'm working on it), to do it on the mill. I'm already trying to get them to get a larger mill and Lathe. "I think we've outgrown them".

    this is something you could probably accomplish with a dremel if you wanted it enough.
