17x10.5" Cobra R's on Fox-Body, is it pos.?

[FastGT50Stang]

I've finally got paid today, and have enough cash to get some COBRA R's (chrome), I want to put 17x9" up front warped w/ some 235s or 245s, and OUT BACK i was thinking to go w/ some 17x10.5" rims warped with prob. some 295s?

What do u guys think, w/ a 5-lug conversion kit, how much custom mods will i have to make???

All it takes to do anyting to a car is Time and Money.
After flairing the outer fenders a fair amount, I almost have my 275s clearing, and that is with a panhard rod helping to control the rear. 295 is going to be tough. It will depend on how willing you are to play with axle lengths, I think. I have lowered mine though.
I have looked at mine and I think I can move the tires inboard about .25" which would prevent any rubbing on the outer lips. This would require flipping or removing the quad shock too. Haven't decided if I should machine the wheels, or replace the axles.

Well, that's my experience anyway.
