Found a set of outrageous Hall wheels on ebay. They are 15" by 12" wide in the front and 15" in the rear. I didn't know they came that wide much less fit under a Pantera, even with GT5 flairs like on mine. I like the idea of retaining the 15" wheels; to me the 17s kinda look like your 6 year old daughter in your wife's high heels. Will these babies really fit? Any weirdness I should know about?

Have you given any thought as to what tires you'll be running on these monsters? A 12" wide wheel would be optimized with a 295- or 305-sized tire while a 13" wheel would call for something like a 335. Finding such meats may be near-impossible in high-speed-rated rubber and a 50 or 60-profile of the correct diameter. True, there ARE some belted-bias cruisin'-the-hamburger-shop tires by Mickey Thompson or pure-racing gumball/rain tires that will fit, but they're either rated for fairly low mph limits or utterly illegal on public roads. Running either with a relatively fast, heavy mid-engined car such as a Pantera could be hazardous to your health or bank account. I suggest you check with Roger Kraus Racing Tires or The Tire Rack for recommendations on suitable rubber before you lay out significant money.
