Default 10.5 inch rim fitment probs on a 94'

I just got some new deep dish bullets for my 1994 GT. There 10.5 inch in the back 9 inch in the front, my car is lowered 1.5 " and my rims are very close to the back of the fenderwell and everything in or around it, aka shocks, tailpipes, etc. is there any way to get the wheel to stick out further away from the inner fenderwell and all the other crap so they will fit correctly, i haven't even put tires on them yet and there already really close.

What backspacing are they. You can use spacers to throw them to the outside a lil.

yup, 1/4" spacers but you need a tire that is no wider than 11 inch total, maybe 11.5 w/ the spacers will work but try to go 11

you also need to remove alltogether or reverse the quads end for end

alright, i figured i needed spacers, and i heard of taking out the quads, you know of anywhere that i can get the 1/4 inch spacers that isn't a ridicoulous price for a peice of metal with bolts sticking out of it. lol thats really all it is. thanks

if you move them out there going to rub the lip.I thought the same thing when i got mine I sayeth "these things are neva going to fit!" I run the 315/35 mt d/r im lowered about 1.5"-2"

I had to massage the inner fender well abit to get them to fit they just rubbed a little towards the front of the fenderwheel I have no spacers and they still rub the lip when i turn hard or hit a nice bump so im thinking moving the wheel out is not going to work.If i get off my lazy azz and roll the lip it wont hit the lip. after I massaged the inner fender well I used some of that underbody spray that comes out thick and you cant even tell I did it..well thats what I did good luck

oh yah I used the 245/45/17 on the front and they dont look quite right on the 9' rim I have no issues witht them rubbing anything but they kinda look a little blowed out.I would think you would need atleast a 265 for it to look right.

you could also get the granatelli weight jacker rear lower control arms to keep it from hitting. you can raise the back 2 inches from stock or drop it 1 inch. you could raise it just enough to clear the fender, i had to do that on my fox.
