i have Saleen 16" 5 spoke wheels for sale & will fit for sure! my Saleens wheels are 4 lug also. they were offered in the 1994 Saleen catalog on the GTSport cars & sold by saleen individually in white & silver. pretty rare wheels too!

my old buddy Eric Dufort had a 88 notch that was a 4 banger converstion.... he had pony's. didnt notice any clearence issues.

are they a 17x8 or 17x9?? i think you you run a 245/40 you shouldnt have a problem. you def wont if there 17x8.

like i said before in the fronts i run 245/45/17 and the rears are 275/40/17...i had the 4 cyl suspension...and they were fine...as soon as i lowered it i had to roll the rear quarter lip and switch the quad shock around...and for the front...only thing that rubbed was the weight cuz they used one that clips onto the lip of the rim as opposed to the ones that stick on the inside like i told them i wanted inthe first place...but no i wouldnt worry about it especially if ur gonna be running less than a 245 in the front...but dont go skinny in the rear...fat tires always look sick in the back
