I just received my test wheel from American Muscle. I thought I would put on my 95 spindle and see if it would fit. It looks like it extends about 3/8 inch past my fender. These are 2013 Gt500 wheels for a 95 mustang. 6.2 Back spacing , with a +30 offset. Not sure if I should run it ? They do fit the rear well. I tried to get good pictures.

I can get my finger between the strut and back of the rim.

This also not a ride height. I tried jacking up on the arm ,but just lifts the car.

To know for sure I would remove the front spring and check at ride height/full compression,it will sit closer to flush at these points.
If it's close could always add a little more camber(I run -2 deg with no wear issues) and something like a 245 tire(235 for some stretch) with rolled fenders.
Good luck

Thanks... I measured everything out before I ordered the 1 wheel.
I purchased the wheel for $42.00 shipped .
It had a blemish that you would never see.
I think it will be very close at ride height.
I'm currently running a 17x8.5 +30 and it fit inside the fender nicely. I will roll the fender if I decide to keep this and order the other 3.
