Default Widest size wheels....

Whats the larget size wheel and tire can you put on a 99 and up GT? I know you can put a 10.5" wheel with a 315 tire on the rear, but can you put that size on the from too? If so what kind of modifications have to be made, like fenders and such? And can you put larger widths than 10.5"? Thats for any responses you may have.

why do you want wider wheels/tire on front, that causes more rolling resistance. its rear wheel drive so get the fattys on the back and skinnys on the front.

I want the widest tires all the way around. Im not about drag racing im all about road racing..... Check out American Iron.

This is the real reason to own a mustang. You want to be able to hold the most g's in a turn and stick to the road and not skid. Everyone knows american muscle mostly as straight line cars. Come on everyone, lets prove them wrong. We need to beat all those European cars. Like the porsches and ferrari.

The ultimate Mustang suspension.

I am not sure either without doing some major front suspension work. Jdaniel is right, I have 275/40/17 fronts on 17X9 wheels and 335/35/17 rear on 17X10.5 wheels. Go on tirerack.com and you can cycle through different wheel/tire combinations for specific vehicles.
