tires and wheels
I am wondering what sizes of tires and wheels people are using on their
Mustangs for the rear? I have a 2002 GT Vert with the stock wheels, and Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs. I am wondering if I get the 17X10.5 inch rims from Mustang Tuning, with the Sumitomo 315/35/17 tires if they will fit ok? What with the car lowered and all, and the size of the tires, I am wondering if the tires will rub on the car when going over bumps. I notice the car scrapes the ground now since I changed the springs. I want wide tires in the rear, but not if I have to be careful when hitting bumps on the road. Rob |

Your combo is great for a straight line in acceleration adn braking. But try to turn some corners....... Bob, your best bet is to call the folks at Mustang Tuning. SOme 315 tires are wider than otheres. They can tell you what fits and what doesn't; wheel width, backspacing, tire section width, etc. -- ..boB Arrived: 2006 FXDI, Red. 1997 HD FXDWG - Turbocharged Stolen 11/26/05 in Denver 1HD1GEL10VY3200010 CO License J5822Z 2001 Dodge Dakota QC 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 Mustang Coupe - Daily Driver 1965 FFR Cobra - 427W EFI, Damn Fast. |
