I have a 97 gt and about to buy fr500s off American muscle, I'm going to get the 17s and 10.5s in the rear. I was wanting to know if 315/35/17s will fit on my car with no problems? Anybody done it?

I had 275/40/17's on my old 96. Got a little bit of sidewall flex due to the 9 inch wheels and the bulge. With 10.5's you shouldn't have any flex but if the car is lowered you may wind up with some fender rash on the tire. Might need the fenders rolled a bit if it is lowered.

I've got 17x10.5 FR500 with 315's on my lowered 94 GT.
Fits fine.

Come to think about it, I did roll the lip a bit.

I have 315s on my 17x9, little bulge but not bad. You shouldnt really need to roll fenders, may have to flip quad shocks as they may rub.

I have 17x10.5 on my 98 convert and I just took off the quad shocks, but I also have after market upper/lower control arms. Lowered on H&R Springs without issue.
