Default Will these wheels and tires work?
I am looking at a set of 17" cobra wheels 4 lug, the rear tires are 275/40ZR/17 , and the front tires are 245/45zr/17.

the car is a bone stock 1990 LX 5.0, will these fit without any modifications?

thank you very much.

no,the 10's would be a challenge but can be made to fit. the 9's on the front may give you a rubbing issue. You may need to remove/flip the quad shocks on the rear.
