some people say yea, it'll work. some say itll never work. some say it'll work with some modification.....well which one is it??


In need of some guidance here guys. im dyin for some knock off 17" FR500 wheels. 9 in the front and the 10.5 in the back (the ones with that awesome lip). got a 95 GT and its about to have the Eibach sportline springs put on it ( 2.0 in the front, 1.8 rear). i have some 17x9 cobra rs on it now.....255s and 275s. they look good....but if a 315 would tuck right, that stance would be awesome. im hoping some of you guys has had this setup i want on a 94/98 car. The front wheels are 17x9 with a 5.95" backspace (+24mm offset) while the rear are with a 6.9" backspace(+27mm offset). would a 315/35/17 be about right?

i dont want 'em to stick out past the fender (the top).
i dont want 'em to rub anything (shocks, fenderlip....will i have to roll it? )

i'll prob be taking my tailpipes off anyways so that isnt a problem.

any insight would be GREATLY appreicated. please let me know. pics of anyones car too with this setup would be great too. welcome to email me as well @ mustangmadness89@hotmail.com

thanks

I think that drop might be a little drastic. I personaly think it would not work with that much of a drop

i dont see why it wouldnt work...theres lots of guys with 10.5 315's in the back with no probs. I know its lowered, MAYBE you'll ahve to roll the lip on the fenders...no biggie though, i bet it'll look good, and post pics when you git er done
