What's in the Box
(1) 17x9 10-Hole Wheel
Fox Body Mustang 5 Lug 17x9 10-Hole Wheel Increase wheel clearance for modern brakes without sacrificing the factory Fox Body look with 5.0 Resto's 1979-1993 Mustang 5 lug 17x9 rear 10-Hole wheel! The 10-Hole wheel (also referred to as the phone dial wheel) first made its appearance on the 1985 Mustang GT. 5.0 Resto has taken the iconic wheel and given it a modern makeover by increasing the diameter to 17" while still retaining the wheel's unique design. Increasing the diameter allows you to run larger, more modern brakes as well as provide more tire options! Featuring a 5x114.3 lug pattern to allow you to keep the classic look with an updated, stronger 5 lug bolt pattern.
5.0 Resto Quality 5.0 Resto carefully measured every millimeter of this wheel to provide a perfect fit on your Fox Body Mustang. Keeping the "windows" proportionate to the increased diameter of the wheel was the ultimate goal and was achieved through countless tweaking and adjustments. From the backspacing and offset to the width and diameter, the 10-Hole wheel provides your Mustang with nostalgic styling and a period-correct look. Each wheel features a machined finish face and lip, with metallic silver windows and an outer groove. The wheel is then clear-coated to protect this finish for years to come! Weighing in at a light 26.1 lbs for the 17x9 wheel keeps the rotating mass down over heavier wheels. 5.0 Resto backs this wheel with an industry-leading warranty for the ultimate peace of mind.

Published on 2023-03-15 At the time of this video, the 15x7 and 15x9-inch 10-Hole wheels have been available for a few years now. They’ve been a great addition to the 5.0 Resto wheel catalog and are appreciated by many enthusiasts. Since the release of the original 10-hole, customers provided great feedback with the interest in a larger diameter 10-hole wheel, and secretly, we kinda wanted one ourselves.
The 17" 5.0 Resto 10-Hole is available with metallic silver windows and outer groove with a machined face and lip; or satin black. They are constructed from aluminum using the tried-and-true low-pressure casting method.
Published on 2023-04-21 Basic maintenance is more than just an oil change or a tire rotation. Depending on the part, some require routine upkeep to ensure they remain dialed in. The 10-hole center cap is one of those parts. Popular on the 1979-1993 Fox Body Mustangs, the 10-hole wheels use a stainless steel center cap that requires a specific cleaning regimen. In this video, Landan covers everything you need to know about 10-hole wheel center caps. These topics include removing the cap, cleaning the cap, and the right way to install the cap.

The wheel size is the diameter of the wheel, in inches, not counting the tire.
Modern tires in North America have several other measurements associated with their size.
A tire designated as a "225/70R14" denotes a tire with the following dimensions: width of tread: 225 mm; ratio of tire height to width: 70 percent; rim diameter: 14".
Therefore, a 185/70R14 has the same rim diameter and aspect ratio, but a smaller overall diameter and narrower tread face than the 225/70R14.
Wheel Width
Wheel Backspacing
The easiest way to measure backspace is to lay the wheel face down onto the ground so the backside of the wheel is facing up.
Take a straight edge and lay it diagonally across the inboard flange of the wheel. Take a tape measure and measure the distance from where the straight edge contacts the inboard flange to the hub mounting pad of the wheel. This measurement is the backspace.
The photo below shows three wheels with 2", 3", & 4" backspace.
Wheel Bolt Pattern
The bolt pattern or bolt circle is the diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs. Bolt patterns can be 4, 5, 6, or 8 lug holes. A bolt circle of 4x100 would indicate a 4 lug pattern on a circle with a diameter of 100mm.
The diagram indicates the proper measuring methods. 6 lug wheels are measured like the 4 lug wheels.
Wheel Offset
The offset, measured in millimeters, can be negative or positive, and is the distance from the hub-mounting surface to the rim's true centerline. A positive offset means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the outside edge of the wheel; a negative offset means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the inside edge of the wheel. Offset affects the scrub radius of the steering and it is advisable to stay within the limits allowed by the vehicle manufacturer. If tires are fitted which are significantly wider than those specified by the manufacturer, a compromise may have to be adopted whereby a wheel with less offset is used to prevent the tire rubbing on the suspension.
Wheel Centerbore
The centerbore of the wheel is the opening in the middle of the wheel, surrounded by the lug holes. This opening helps to center the wheel to the hub. Its diameter is typically measured in millimeters (mm) and varies in size depending on vehicle application. Manufacturers approve up to a 1% variance in tolerance to pass wheels during inspection.
