    I am a 21 year old still in college and I currently own a 92 5.0LX. I am debating whether or not I want to upgrade my 5.0 and put thousands into it or simply buy a 2005 GT. This isnt going to be a next week thing, I'm talking years down the road so I know I wont be getting a 05 but same model...

    Size tires for 17" wheels???

    How is that possible? 245/25.4=9.65". So what I dont understand is how do you get a narrower tire on the wheel. Is there something more than just doing the math I did and saying "OK I got 9.65 which is larger than 9 so it should fit" Am I completely wrong?

    Size tires for 17" wheels???

    Well the 255's are roughly 10", the 235's are 9.25". Plus I have a LX so hopefully the 235's without the ground effects should be ok. What do you think?

    Question on Ford Engine

    The engine is roughly 3200. I do not know that much about the quality of engines or what is in them and so forth. What are some good engine builders or engines that I can get that will have over 300hp at the wheels? I really dont wanna spend over 3500 for an engine.

    Size tires for 17" wheels???

    Not to steal the thread.. ..but do you need to go 17x8 in the front or can you go 17x9 all around? I too plan on getting C springs with 275/40/17 in the rear, but 235/45/17 in the front. With the clearance issue in the back, I plan on getting 1/2" wheel spacer adapters.
