Need tires for my 96 GT and while browsing Craigslist I found a set of 17x9 Cobra R wheels with 255/40/ZR17 tires. Will these fit without and issues or modifications?

I was going to swap the wheels and tires off my 94, but they are wider and I know the quad shocks need removed for them to fit.

Guy is asking $400 for the set. They look pretty good. Some scuffing on at least the one as seen in the pics. Is this a good deal?

I believe those will fit without removing anything. Should bolt right up. If they fit 96 to 2004, they should bolt right up on a 94/95. Don't remove quad shocks without installing panhard bar and torque arm. They are there for a reason.

yes they will fit, no you shouldn't have to remove the quad shocks...
