89TripleWhite

89 mustang gt conv....Cobra disc brake conversion.... as of right now i have 245/40/17 and the cobra rims that i think do not fit, cuz if i turn all the way to one side it (left or right, its the same) itreally skrapes the controlarm badly. i think they could be 17x8, are those too big for stock fenders and sizing? ok long story short, i know the 89 has smaller wheel wells then later models. so if i wanna go 5 lug Cobra brake conversion all the way around, whats the best tire and rim size to get? those little radius pins dont really help on turning to tight either. i dont mind if its a staggered set of rims.

Thanks in advance, sorry for the long intro

you need to install rack limiter shims to keep the steering rack from travelling all the way to the end of its turning radius

ALMOST STOCK

7 yrs ago I also ran into the same problem with 245/ 40 / 17on17" X 9" rims onmy 89 with the rimslightly scraping on the A-arms.
I installedrack limiters/travel restrictor (1 per side) which tooktook me about 10 mins to do and the cost was about $5 and that stopped all the rubbing of the rim on the A-arms.
Rack limiters do come in different thicknessesbut most ppl seem to used part # N804842-S washer, which you can get from Ford or 50 resto.
