Default Biggest wheels on mustang?W

Would a 9.5 inch wide rim work on the front of a mustang?

would a 11 inch wheel work on the rear?

Just curious if anyone has run these

Yes and Yes

The stock rim for the GT500 is a 9.5 frt and bk.

I saw Steedas concept stang at a recent show and it was sportin the new Spyder rims which are 20x9.5 frt and 20x11 in the rear. No issues.

Just occured to me after i posted that you have a 96gt. My info was for 05-10.

^ '07... I believe OP is referring to an SN95, not a S197

You will have a bit of trouble running a 9.5" wheel without some steering rack limiters up front. You can run an 11" out back but need to have the EXACT off-set/back-spacing.

This can be done but will be tricky to avoid serious rubbing.

Default 9.5 and 11 inch

Yes they will fit with the correct offsets on a SN95. The only thing is keeping the tire diameter correct and if the car is lowered - clearance issues become tight. In the rear you would need to use a zip tie to pull back your parking brake cable though.
