Default Wheels & Tires

I want to add the Anthracite Deep Dish Bullitt wheels (17x10.5) to the back of my 2001 GT, Will they match the stock wheels? Also MT recommends the Sumitomo 315/35/17 for that wheel, but I stopped in at Town Fair and the guy said that that size on the back will rub on the on the back. Does anyone have that wheel/tire? I actually think that I will be going with a BF Goodwrich G-FORCE T/A KDWtire instead 245/45zr/17 for the front and they make a 285/40zr/17 that I think might work a bit better for the Bullit wheels? Anyone close to that set-up, would love to hear your opinion before I order those!! THanks!!!

I have 315/35/17 out back and it doesnt rub at all. I have 275/40/17 up front and it only rubs a tiny bit with the wheel turned all the way to one side or the other.

I also have the 17X10.5 anthracite bullitts with 315/35s and I haven't had a problem with rubbing either. I also have my car lowered. As far as the fronts go, if you're still running the stocks, the widest you'll be able to fit are 255/40s.

This should go in the tire section, moving...

ps- you can run as big as 335 on the back.

fenders might need to be rolled though for the 335's
