I've heard from a couple of people that when you put 17x10.5 wheels on a 99-04 GT that you have to take your quad shocks off for them to fit causing you to have to buy upper/lower control arms. Just trying to figure out if I'm going to have to buy control arms before I purchase the wheels.

 

not that I know of, I have 10.5's on mine with 315's, and I have all four shocks, all that I know of is the fenders might need to be rolled

 

Ive heard that those will only fit the rear but I am not sure.

 

Thanks for the info. I just wanted to be sure before I purchase the wheels on tuesday.

 

no you dont need to remove the quad shocks, if you lower it 2.0 or more", fender rolling is a good idea

 

I have 315's on mine and there is plenty of room for the quad shocks.

 

How will it be for a 1 1/2" drop???

My drivers quarter has mud in 3/4's of the lip, so rolling it is out of the question short of replacing the quarter.

mine is lowered 1/5 inches in the back and i got 315's on 17x10.5 wheels i have no problems...ppl with 94-98's have to remove the quad shocks, not 99-04

 

I have a 98 and they rub a little but, i heard that if they do you can just reverse them so the skinny part of the shock is where the rim and tire are. I didnt bother to do it yet because it doesnt rub that much just once in a while.

 

Thanks MustangMan00!! I'm all set on getting what wheels I want, I didn't want to have to change my mind, AGAIN...
