Is there a difference between a 87-90 fender vs a 91-93 fender? I am looking for a replacement fender for a 93 GT and was wondering what range year models will work.

Jquintel is correct. Go with the 91-93 fenders.

"To complement the new 16 inch wheel, P225/55ZR Goodyear uni-directional Gatorbacks were standard with P225/55ZR16 all-season performance tires becoming an option. In addition, different front fenders were installed to accomodate the bigger wheel/tire combo." -mustanggt.org 1991 GT info...

Do the 91-93 fenders fit without modification on the 79-90 cars? I have a 90 lx and want larger tires in the back, but was told I would have to roll the fenders to accomplish it without rubbing. Maybe I could just swap my fenders with newer ones instead though?

I have an 87GT and was wondering if there would be a problem putting the 91-93 fenders on my car.

Bit more work than I was planning, but I bookmarked the site anyway for future reference

I really only plan on doing 275 wide tires on a 9 inch rim for now, so really I'm just curious if I can use 91-93 front and rear fenders on my 1990 lx? I also saw a company online that sells 1-3 inch flared fenders for the fox body, but can't remember the site's address, anybody know who I'm talking about?

91-93 front fenders will bolt right up to a 87-90. The 91-93 cars only have wider wells on the front. The rear quarters are identical on 87-93.

Ford was only looking to fit a 225/55/16 on 91-93 cars ... and the only "fenders" that obstructed were the fronts with the inner fender. A 275 <26" tall will fit in the rear wheelwell as long as your 9 inch rim has the proper offset.

DO NOT BUY FLARED FENDERS

I was only going to buy the 1 inch flare from the company I was talking about, which now I know is exactly what the difference between the 90 and 91 fender is. I'll just pick something up from the junkyard when I'm ready to paint my car

Thanks for the info.
