Thanks

alot is gonna depend on your wheels (offset and what not) and if your suspension is stock etc. i had a 94 cobra rear in my (a little wider) and 17 x 10.5 wheels in the back (cant remember the offset) and i just had to roll the fender a little and had no problems but i didnt run quads

Yup, rim offset is going to be the biggest problem. I ran them on my 01 GT rims, but flipped my quads.....also rear disk or drum is going to come into play. If you have rear drum, that is going to bring your rim closer to the quad.

I run Nitto 555r on my 17x9.5 ROH wheels and I had the flip the quad shocks...I don't remember the backspacing on the wheels though.

I had larger 275/40/17 BFGs on my car with quads and had no issues at all.
