History:
Alright, make a long story short.... I smacked my wheel cutting a curb because i was late to the dentist appointment. Blew out the tire. When i went to replace tire, I decided to replace all 4 becuase the 02 GT was used and sitting on lot for a long time and tires developed dry rot. 'Other day, I realized all my rims are pretty beaten, and torn up. The one wheel won't balance correctly either. I'm saying screw it, and I'm going all out and buying 4 new wheels, and some GOOD drag radial tires.
Problem\Current situation:
So, I'm going to get 17 inch diameter, 10.5 inches wides for all four tires. I'm probably getting chromes because they look clean for longer heh. Regardless, I'm worried about the 10.5s been too wide in the rear and messing up my quad shocks. I dont want to buy a WHOLE NEW suspension also, becuase chrome 17s inchs by 10.5 inchs for four wheels, and all new performance tires is pricey enough.
Right to the point:
Will 10.5 inch wide wheels on the rear and fronts, interfere with anything with the suspension, including but not limited to, the quad shocks in the rear.
This post is primarely directed to someone else who has put fatter tires on their mustang (which i know a ton of you probably have
) or anyone who has a definite yes or no answer. I really REALLY REALLY apperciate your help, for an 18 year old, 4 new chrome wheels and tires is gobs of money, and the feeling that everything will go together without a problem is unbeatable. I sincerely thank you for any help or information!!!!
Other information:
car is an 2002 Mustang GT Coupe Auto Transmission with no suspension or wheel modifications done.
Your really confused friend who's stang is on blocks till he figures his wheel sitaution out----
Defleshed.

. so what size wide wheel would be perfect for the rears, and how fat a tire would match up perfectly?
Here is some 315 on a 17 x 10.5 in the back and 17 x 9 on the front with 245 Next time I will get 255 up front to protect the rim.
