Will this size tire, 235/55/ZR17 fit a 1998 Mustang GT Convertible? Wheels are 17 X 8. The company I'm considering buying them from suggested a 1/4 spacer for the rear, any ideas, recommendations?
They are take off's and I can get a good deal, so, I need new tires, those are cheap and new, plus I like the wheels better than my stock wheels...hence the question.
I think those wheel will be too tall.
they will probably fit (if your car isn't lowered) but they are a about 2 1/2" taller than the right sized tire...and accourding the uber useful "Miata Tire Calculator" your speedo will read almost 10% too slow (when your speedo says 60 MPH you will be going 65.5 MHP)
I am going to take a wild guess....are you looking at 05+ GT take off wheels/tires? I havnt read much or am not 100% sure, but I do not know of 05+ GT wheels will fit 94-04 cars....maybe thats why they told you that you will need the spacer?
Thanks for all of the inputs, I've decided to pass on these tires/wheels, I'll just break the piggy bank and get some wheels/tires that are right for the car. Any suggestions? I'd prefer chrome wheels...
