anybody got pictures of some crab wheels on a 4dr P body. preferably on a dark green one ? I've seen the ones on someones black 4dr (which look awesome btw) but I'm not sure if they would look ok on my green one

found a set in the local yard and I'm undecided about them.

Keep in mind that there are 6" wide (came on shadows) and 6.5" wide crabs (came of Shelby Z Daytonas) too. If you plan to run a 225 wide tire, go for the 6.5"s

yup these are on a shelby z. and I know that I'd have to run a wider tire which isnt a problem. unless theres a difference in suspension components and it wouldnt clear my current suspension ? stock 94 front end & rear

You dont "have to" run a wider tire, but you can on the wider rims. Should fit ok on any Shadow :thumb:

Those are 6.5 crabs with 205/50s on my car, I think they would look great on a dark green car espacally painted dark like mine are.

I just ran up to the yard to get some more stuff and looked them over better. course they've got wheel locks on them and the adapter key is gone :mad: probably why their still on the car


Guy told me $200/set I'll be letting them do the dirty work and make it worth 200 to me.

They would have to be in perfect condition for $200/set... probably find an average set on here for less?

i ran a set of eggshells with what i thought was was 205 60 or 65? they were on a lebaron, found that they rubbed a little in the front on sharp turns, also rear wheel well was kinda low on the tire but i think that was due to bad springs, this summer im gunna run pizza wheels polished but i think i will go with 195 insted of 205

They are up there since most here sell for $125-150/set But how much is shipping going to run another $40-50 ?

just ticks me off to see another set of OEM wheels going into the trash.

Wheel locks are not hard to defeat at all. I had to do this when I broke one and part of it was still on the stud.

What you need to do is go to Sears and buy DEEP WELL 12 POINT SOCKET that's a tight fit around it, It probably will be in the 21mm range (mine was, and it was a McGard lock). Pound the effer on the lock and use A BREAKER BAR NOT AN IMPACT and bingo, the b!tch comes right off.

Had a guy at a tire place tell me the same thing. Works like a charm!

I did the same thing. Of course I had 2 useless 22mm sockets after but I got some nice snowflakes with new tires!

+3 Done it more than once. But yeah $200 is kind of high, offer them 100 and see what they say.
