ask streetgrande69 a couple posts down with the all caps wheel tire fitment post. He has 17x8s on his car and will know if 17x9s will clear or not I'll bet.

I'll post this for Nick (Dodgestang).
Nick has created a very cool database/chart of wheel sizes/combos for Mustangs. Click on the link below, then click on your year

dodgestang, i sent to be added(via your form) to your list, how often do you up-date?

anyway, i'm running 4 3/4 bs all the way around. there is plenty of room under there in back for more. front is at about max though. i like them at this size. look about perfect for what i wanted. realy glad i upgraded.



check out my link @ the bottom for "my grande" to see some pics........

I have been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO busy its been about 45-50 days since my last update....I have a good 45-50 entries to add too....allthough some of them are either incomplete or seem off the wall......and BTW...please people if you are going to send me an entry for a 65 mustang with 17x9.5 rims and 255s on all 4 corners with no fenders rolled and no flares....please include a return to email address so I can ask you for a picture....otherwise I won't be adding it to the chart because it is so counter to everything I have learned in assembling these charts.
