Wheel&Tire Question...
I am wanting to put the bullit deep dish rims on my 89 coupe, but I worry on what size of tire to put in the back.
My plan is to go 17x8's in the front and the 17x10.5, but I can't find anyone that has these rims on a foxbodied Mustang. Will a 275 40 be to small for the rim?? I just want the best fitment with the least amount of hassle's trying to me make them fit, but I don't want have to put a tire on there that's to small for the rim... thanks... |
a 275 is not gonna fit on there. I would just get 17x8 for the front and 17x9's for the back and run 245/45/17 or 255/45/17 on the front and a 275/40/17 out back. As fas as i can remember you cant run anything bigger then a 275 out back without doing some "body" mods to make them fit.

That's what I want to run in the front but, I want to be able to run the deep dish rim tho...
I guess my question is what would I have to do to run a deep dish rim in the rear... I found these pics on Mustangtuning's customer ride page... http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/musta...tt-foxbody.jpg http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/musta...mustang-gt.jpg The owner of the red hatch stated that he's running goodyear f1 275 40 on the rear's so i don't know... |
How can a 275 fit on a 10.5" rim? are those fox body specific rims?

What's the best fit?
Okay, so i have 18's on my ride... running 275/35/18 on the rear. I am a bit tired of the tucked in look so i bought spacers from MT; however, they don't fit with my FR500's... so I was thinking of getting the DD FR500 and dropping on 315/35/18 to add some girth. Any idea of this mix will work?

I couldn't get the FR500 rims to fit over the spacers lugs... now i just need to find new tread as my tires don't come in 315/x/18 grr!
Thanks for the note, i'll check out the deep dish rims then. |

the bolt pattern is fine, but the studs rub the inside of the rim too much. I could eff with it and make it work, but i'd rather just take an easier route.

So what do I do about replacing the quad shocks??
