Default Need rim/wheel answer ASAP PLEASE!

Hey guys, I know it's been asked and answered for the rear, but I can't seem to find out if anyone knows the BIGGEST WHEEL/TIRE COMBO YOU CAN FIT ON THE FRONT of a '93 hatchback GT?

I need to know immediately so I can get tires by Weds.

I have 17x9" 03 cobra's going in the front and tire rack told me that's too wide w/o the fenders being rolled. I'm gonna have a 1.25" drop infront... is there anyone that can tell me that'll work on a fox? What kinda problems does that present?

Thanks all!

Damn... I had no idea...

I got my '03 pull-off cobra's w/275 GY Eagle F1's for $500 tho and I picked 'em up... decent price.


Champ, is ur car lowered or fenders rolled? Looks like it would be fine, just need to make sure so I can order tires... does it look like a 245/45/17 would fit on front?

Damn, if I had know that I would have bought them. And I'm only in Maine. Matter of fact, i spent a week in Middletown, RI for training last month. Could have picked them up.

Lowered 1" and no the fenders are not rolled. As far as the tire size it should be okay.
