Default wide wheel/tires

I have stock suspension on a '01 GT, so what is the widest tire/rim combination I can run without sticking outside the fenderwells? I love those 17-10.5 deep dish wheels - does anyone make a deep dish wheel for the front?

Are those after market replica wheels you see on eBay strong enough for 'spirited' driving? I'd hate to break a wheel in the middle of a curve!

thanks for your input!

the front is made for 17x9's...the back can fit 17x10.5's I do believe and it will come perfect with the fender...and i'm sure the replica wheels are of descent quality, so I wouldent worry about one being broken from intense driving unless you do something way out of the ordinary

You can fit a 10.5 with 335/35/17's on there if you can afford them. I wouldnt pun anything larger than a 9" with 275/40/17's up front though. Mycar is lowered 2" and thats the same setup I have and they dont rub.

would it look good to do 18x10.5 in the back and 17x9 in the front? Would it fit on a stock 04 GT. What site has the best prices for the fr500 rims?
