Wheel and tire fitment help
Im trying to order some new wheels and tires for my mustang which is an 02 gt i want to run 18x9 in the front with 275/35/18 tires and 295/35/18 in the rear but i called AM cause i want to run the fr500 wheels and the person i talked to said that i would have fitment issues cause i am also running the eibach springs and that i would have to roll my fenders and that that size up front would cause the sway bar to hit any help would be great!!!

You may rub a bit, but rolling the fenders a tad is not a big deal. The 275's tend to hit the front sway bar, but only a little and on full-lock of steering wheel so no worries there. The rear tires will be OK, but a 30 series will give you a bit more clearance as well as limit the likelyhood of ABS sensor issues due to a bit excessive differing diameter tires between front and rear.

EDIT: You could avoid rubbing if you go 265/35's in stead up front. I think this is a better fit for a 9" wheel anyway. The 275's tend to be a bit sloppy on turn-in response with a 9" wheel.

yeah I used some calculator online and change the tire rotation numbers according to its calculations, i havent been able to test its acuracy with gps, but I havent ever been pulled over or noticed any difference once I adjusted it with the diablo
