Wondering if my 1987 gt hatch will be able to handle these with little to no modifications. Sites are list below.

The front might rub at left or right full loc, the rear might have clearance issue with the drag shock and tail pipe. The rims are awesome though. Oh and welcome to MF.

ya i heard the front might have a issue, no one has said anything about the rear, just wondering if its worth the purchase or not really, i personally do not wanna modify it too much, wanna really keep that issue simple. Thanks

Linky's no worky (I could figure them out, but too much work... lol)

If the Tire Rack advertisment says they will fit your car, you should not have any mods to do for them to work.

My bad on the links, here is a small description, rims are (1987-93 Mustang 17x10 Black SC Saleen Style Wheel - 4 Lug REAR Offset is +25)

(1987-93 Mustang 17x9 Black SC Saleen Style Wheel - 4 Lug FRONT Offset is +24)

Tires are KUMHO ECSTA XS FRONT 255/40/R17 REAR 295/35/R17 if any of that helps since the links are bad.. Thank

OK.... did the searching and ***THIS*** appears to be what you are after:



I can tell you right now, that a 10" wheel is PUSHING it on a Fox Body and a 295 is gonna rub without some work to the fenders for clearance. Typically, a 9" wheel with a 275 is what peeps do on your model/year ride. I have seen 10"s on the Fox, but cannot say how much work is involved, but will guarantee some for sure. Quads will surely need being reversed or removed as well.

Ok, i got off the phone with stage 3 motorsports (lou was the guy i talked to) he said since i have drum brakes i should be ok, if i can locate a 285/35/r17 tire (cant find any) he said i might rub with 295 but should be ok as long as im leaving the height of the car the same and not lowering it.

Ill deal with the work, i just like going to the extreme with everything and i know what your saying alot of people (fox bodys) stay with that 9in rear, I wanna be different!! lol

Well when you get them on post pics and show anything that needed adjustment so others can get an idea of how that set up looks. I bet it will look sick azz hell.
