Got a question, whats the fattest tire you can fit on a GT with no tail pipes? 315 or more Im looking at getting some black fr500s

I have 315's with tailpipes, Idk about any bigger

knew a guy here in town with a 03 GT that had sportlines, 18x11 simmons wheels with 335s. thats WITH tailpipes. i do remember him saying he had to 'massage' the rear fender lips.

i do not know what the offset of the wheels were as im sure that played a big role.

I have 335/35/17s on 17x10.5" rears, and I'm quite certain I could run tailpipes if I didn't love the way my dumps sounded so much.

That's how close to the fender edge they came. I do have rolled fenders, but they were rolled beforehand. I'm pretty sure these won't fit unless you roll them otherwise. Unless you are going with a wheel that has a different offset and backspacing than traditional aftermarket Mustang wheels, I would worry more about the fender lip than the tail pipes. I'm confident that I could get some tailpipes in there without rubbing if I wanted to.

And for schnitzengiggles...

I've seen 345's on an 03 Cobra over on SVTPerformance.com

The IRS really limits clearence under there so there's even more room for a wider tire with an LRA GT.

For 17's,315's your are safe.
For 18's,295/305 depending on the manufacture of the tire.
Tailpipes are not the only thing you need to be concerned with,the fender lip aswell if you are lowered,and don't plan on doing any fender rolling.

slick35thgt, your car is absolutely droolworthy... Theres another video in there of someone flipping their stang on the track, was that you? Looked like a pretty rough flip lol.
