Im planning on doing a 5 lug conversion to my 88 GT. Im going to run 18x9 Black Bullitts in the front and 18x10s in the back. I want to run 255/35/18s on the front and 275/35/18s out back but im worried about scrubbing. If anyone that is running or has ran this setup would let me know about any fitment problems id appreciate it. Thanks- Wesley

What are your plans as far as axle choice. I think many are running that wheel and tire combo but it also depends on the 5 lug conversion setup you are going to run.

says he is running :
18x9 fronts 255/40/18 Hankook EVO2
18x10 rears 295/35/18 BFG Drag Radials

Stock length rear axles
Front has MM K member , non offset a-arms and 96 spindles
Coil overs all around no rubbing, drives nice.

I don't know if he is running full exhaust or if it is dumped though

They aren't stock Pony's if they're 17". Pony wheels were 16x7's.
