I tried to do a search on tires/rims but didn't come up with anything substantial.

If this question has already been asked a million times, forgive me.

I have a 2002 Mustang GT Vert with the stock 17" bullet rims with 245/45/17 tires.

The car also has eibach pro-kit lowering springs.

I need two new tires soon so I was thinking if I get wider rears, will it work and will the wider tires rub, etc.

I like the 17X10.5 inch deep dish rims from Mustang Tuning but, I think, with the lowering springs, the tires would rub easily.

I have noticed with the eibach springs, my car scrapes the pavement now, when it never did before.

I certainly do not want the tires to rub at all when going over bumps.

What do you guys suggest? Go with 275/40/17's on the 10.5" rims? Just use the stock rims but with the wider tires? I saw Mustang Tuning had 315/35/17 tires. Who is using the 17X10.5" rims with 315/23/17 tires and lowering springs? Do the tires rub? There doesn't appear to be much clearance for wider tires in the rear.

The car is a daily driver and I'm over 40, so I don't want to be in the weeds and the tires rubbing.

Thanks for any help.

you will be able to use 17x10.5's with the 315's with no tire rub
