Default Largest wheels for 95 GT - AM wheels any good?

I was considering getting a set of 17x10.5 DD bullits for the rear of my 95' Stang with 315's.

Was going to stick with 245/45/17 with 17x8 bullits for the front. I have a couple of questions:

Are American Muscle's wheels quality pieces? Have they had any issues with chroming or flaking or rusting?

Will 315's fit on the car without ANY rubbing or modification??

If not American Muscles's wheels, then what would anyone recommend?

I think that's what I have, I'm not quite sure exactly what are good. I have wide Toyo Proxes 4 with 17' Cobra R rims and I sitll have room. I have a 1995 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT. Oh I love my rims and tires, just sucks for the rain, ice, and snow considering they're like slics.

Mine came with my car when I bought it, but the guy went to Les Schwab. This is all I know.

No....AM does not make their wheels. According to AM, they are made by a company in California for them.

I was concerned about the tires interfering with my Flowmaster catback exhaust tailpipes?

So the 17x10.5's and the 315's will fit without any obstruction including the tailpipes of my Flowmaster catback?

Does anyone know what company in California produces AM's wheels??

Yes many people with solid rear end cars run 315's with no problem.
