I've run 17 x9's on a few that have been lowered with no issues other than needing rack limiters , including my present ride.
I've run 17 x9's on a few that have been lowered with no issues other than needing rack limiters , including my present ride.I think a Fairmont fender is narrower than a Mustang anything. A 17x9 wouldn't even get by when pointed straight ahead.
(exaggeration)
I ended up w/ a 17 x 8 but my tire is obviously up inside the fender.
Will a Mustang accommodate a 17 x 9 w/ a slammed stance? Or is it gonna have to have a Rjaaa raise?
With a 245 tire I'm almost flush with the fender opening. I have a little room to drop the front and still clear the sheet metal, but I'm told using a 05+ wheel offset tucks it into the fender so there's probably a little more wiggle room there.I think a Fairmont fender is narrower than a Mustang anything.

Huh,....Seems stupider than Larry to put a big assed wheel on the front and have to limit it's travel because it makes contact with parts of the front end...With a 245 tire I'm almost flush with the fender opening.

Uhhhh....scratch the "stupider than larry" comment,....and don't pay any attention to my commentary in ANY of the moving Monster movies...Matter of fact,...forget I said anything.
Seems to be an ongoing bitWelcome to another edition of "Mike stumps Stykthyn"
You just have to pay attention to every thing I say. I ween you guys into my vocab, gradually so that I won't smoke you.Seems to be an ongoing bit
The rear will clear, the The front wheel itself will make contact with the lower control arm when you turn it to full lock. That is what Stykthyn was talkin about w/ rack limiters. You will have to stop the travel to keep it from doing that.What size tire should I use on the 17x9 ?
The 89 has a stock suspension set up.
Will 245/45/17 fit in the front with no rub?
Will 255/ 40/17 fit in the rear with no rub ?
Is this comment nessecary?? I thought this forum was for help and advice..Boy, here I thought he disappeared after being spoon fed a Google search result. Not sure the rack limiter talk is going to go very far.

You know you want white wheels tooI find this thread offensive. If you'll excuse me, I'm off to go watch Borat... and then The Dictator.
