Can it be done without any major mods? I got the pro kit less than two weeks ago and now i need new rubber. I want to go with some 17x9 fronts and 17x10.5 rears. Will i have any issues with scraping or rubbing? Any input is appreciated.

Won't be a problem at all...at least if the offset is correct.
My major worry was the rear. I had less than 2 inches at the closest point between my rear tires and the exhaust tubing (with the 8" OEM wheels)...I thought, 'no way, it'll never work' - to my surprise, the rear was no issue, but I did have to add 1/2" spacers to the front to clear the Cobra brakes.
I have Mach1 springs all around, with 1/2 coil cut in the rear and 3/4 coil cut from the front. It's dropped about 1.5 inches from stock (similiar to the Eibach Pro kit)

You should be fine. I have the Eibach pro-kits with isolators removed from rear, 315s in back, and adjustable shocks. I get no rubbing whatsoever. You should be fine

The Eibach pro-kit doesn't lower it a ton but it gives it a good stance. Mine is a tad bit lower now cause I removed the back isolators when I did the LCA install.

00BlkStangGT and Team Ford, you both have very nice looking stangs. i must agree the eibach springs don't lower much but for the roads here in New England i can't use sportlines. I ordered some DD FR500's this morning and should be here within 2 days. I'll definately post some pics for you guys.

eibach prokit with the thick isolator removed and running Strange 10-way adjustable shocks in the rear... no issues with the tires biting... and yes, the hard you push the harder the car sticks....
