Will these rims fit fine with the offset on my 95 GT.


Morxchn Gunmetal Mustang Cobra R style deep dish wheels
Front 17 x 9" - 24mm / Rear 17 x 10.5" - 27mm - 5 on 4.5
with 275/40-Z17 Sumitomo HTR 40Z tires in the front and 315/35-Z17 Sumitomo HTR 35Z tires in the rear???


is a 275 recommended for the front or is that too much tire? I will be lowering the car 2" so hopefully everything will look and fit perfectly in the fenderwell.

Let me know what you think! Thanks

I believe the back spacing on the cobra wheels are 24mm. The 27mm will stich out just 3mm more on the back.

The 275 I think are way to wide on the front. I have 255/35/18 and when I get new tires Im gonna put 245/35/18. Also my car is droped 2 inches.

That set up should work, I wish some others would comment on this. 18 inche tire are not that pricey a 275/35/18 you can get for around 200 bucks. Thanks for the comment on my car. I also installed a granatelli kmember, a arms and coil overs, and I love it.

later
