Hi, i recently bought a white 89 GT 5 speed, it has 153,000 and the topend has been rebuilt supposivly 10k ago. Now i have started buy parts LOTS of em. first let me tell u my parts list.

Stuff already on the car
Cold air intake
some kind of h pipe with cats
and a cheap exhaust with ravin mufflers

Stuff sitting in my room
Cobra R rims 17X8 in front 17X9 in rear
Ford Racing clutch, clutch cable, firewall adjuster and triple quadrant

Stuff on the way
BBK 70 mm TB & spacer
BBK Shorty headers
BBK off road X pipe no cats
Flowmaster american thunder exhaust

Ok now for the questions & yea i know how to search after seeing about 20 pages of stuff that is in the ball park of what im looking for but not quite what i wanna know..so i figured id post..

My buddy has a 92 gt with welds on it and 255 tires in the rear with the same exhaust i ordered and the back tire looks pretty close. So im wondering am i going to be able to put a 275 tire in the rear with out doing anything to the exhaust.????

Next question
does anyone have this setup with the stuff on the way that i wrote up top. does it bolt up good or am i gonna have problems with bolting the exhaust to the X pipe or to the headers?? Or should everything jus go on good? (i hope)

Lowering spring question
Im now looking for springs. I dont want to slam the car i am interested in the prokit from ebach. But im wondering if someone has pics of there car with 17s and lowering springs... please name the springs!!!. if so please send a link or post....

1/4 mile question
now with all thes bolt ons put on what should i expect. I am a good driver and as of right now id expect the car to run around 15.0 to be honest. but with all these put on it should pep it up a bit. also what do u think the diffrence would be with 3.73's.

1 more question when i push the button to pop my trunk in the glove box it doesnt work what do u think it is.. i forgot to seach for that so i might as well ask...

THANKS any info would be great

Craig

Don't know about the exhaust, but I also have the cobra 17x9s on the back of my car. The tires on the back of mine are 255x40s. The rear upper control arm is about a half inch from rubbing the back of my tires so I wouldn't try going any wider unless you had spacers behind the rims, but I don't know how good they are. I don't have any pics but I have Mac springs on mine and have about an inch gap from the tire to the fender. It actually don't ride to bad and the handling is great.
