So I can run 28" tires on my stock auto and it wouldn't be too much tire?

Unless Ford released those rims 1 inches wider than they made the ones that they sold as an option to the 99-03 GT's then those rims are actually 8 inches wide. Mine are 8 inches wide and I have pics of the printing on the inside of the rims and they are the 99-01 Cobra rims.

HMPH, I run a 275, and it has 0 buldge.... I'll have to check that out... I've always read they are 9" wheels. Thanks for the heads up!

275s bulged like hell on mine. Yours are likely 9 inch wide. They must have made two different versions......why I have no clue....thats silly but they did.

Well, measured mine, lip to lip is 9" or just a touch more.. just as wide as my buddies 17x9 saleens.... maybe mine are wider being from a cobra vs. a GT option?
