Hello again lol!

I am getting new wheels in the rear (extra set so I can put some MT's on them) (ordering them immed.)

What should I go with?

DeepDish 17x10.5 OR the regular 17x9

I want about 11-12 inches of TREAD on the back IF POSSIBLE. (13 inches section width?)

I have seen pics of the 10.5 deep dish and they appear to stick out a little much at the bottom of the well. (fine at the top)

Will the 10.5's stick out?
What type of backspacing will I need on them to get them to be "tucked" inside for sure. b/c I dont like any "stick out" look at all. not even the slightest.

Widest tire (tread width) that can be fit on a 17/10.5 is a 315/35/17 right?

PLEASE let me know.
THANKS FOR THE HELP

^see how those "stick out" in the rear a little bit? I know up top they are "under the well" but I see how they stick out quite a bit at the bottom... cant tuck them anymore/more or less backspacing?

THANKS!

JoeyD

Any help at all? please.
THANKS!

THANKS FOR THE HELP and PICS!

I'm running nasty OEM rubber so I don't have too much input. I know that you are looking for choices and pictures so I don't mind giving you this link my my friend's site where you can see his big 315/35/17 DR Nittos and judge if you like the stance etc. Surf:

^Yes very nice, love it! Thanks for the PICS.



Thanks to all!

I'm looking to go 17x10.5 as well on my '02 GT. What clearance issues have you guys found? Flipping the quad shocks, or more? I've heard of some people needing spacers, and one guy mentioned re-routing the emergency brake cable on his '98.

Any feedback on Wheel Replicas vs. AFS?

Thanks!

Keep in mind, if you are planning to upgrade you're brakes to 11.5 or higher, it will NOT fit in a 10.5" rim, (or so says mustangtuning). I personally have 17x9's f/r with 255/40/17 front, 275/40/17 rear. pics are at http://home.ec.rr.com/dlazrael/mach1.htm I am going to get some rear on and front on shots soon.
