what kind of wheels are you running and whats the full size of your tires... No doubt your wheels are more than likely the wrong offset.

Im currently lowered on Eibach Sportlines.... yes, its low

I have 2000 GT wheels on there right now with 245/45/17s and 275/40/17s on the back.... I have FRPP "C" springs which are very stiff.. on another subject what kind of shocks/struts should I put on to soften up my ride a little bit??

nofear2606 -> RE: Tires Question???? (3/6/2007 6:50:44 PM)

i am purchasing 17x10.5" deep dish bullit wheels(rear) i have a 98 GT lowered 2" i was wondering how wide of a tire i can fit?

also what can i fit up front 17x9 lowered 2" infront as well. i have 245's now wondering if i can go bigger?

thanks

shocks and struts will not soften up your ride... I know all about the C springs... I used to have them. I took them out and replaced them with Eibach Sportlines, and I wish I had done it sooner.

perhaps you missed my post about having 275/40/17's in front and 315/35/17's in back...

nofear2606 -> RE: Tires Question???? (3/6/2007 9:37:30 PM)

hah i guess i did miss that, is your car lowered?(looks it) and do you ever rub if you have 4 people in the car?

its a common misconception that mustangs fit 4 people... because they dont.

I never have, and never will have more than one passenger in my car. I removed my back seat for a roll cage. lowered your car will rub like a bitch with two 200lb people in the back seat... so dont do it.

AdderMk2 -> RE: Tires Question???? (3/6/2007 10:04:18 PM)

btw... yes I am lowered...

the car looks crooked because I accidentally had one wheel up on the curb

nofear2606 -> RE: Tires Question???? (3/6/2007 10:16:44 PM)

hah yea i have only had a passenger as well. not a fan of packing a mustang like a honda with a bunch of landscapers. i was just cureous. btw your car is badass, only thing i would change is tinted windows. but thats just me!

AdderMk2 -> RE: Tires Question???? (3/6/2007 10:24:21 PM)

Tint is illegal in my state... and I like the fact that I dont get pulled over..

nofear2606 -> RE: Tires Question???? (3/6/2007 10:33:00 PM)

hah good reason, yea i got pulled over 2 times last summer for my tint. finally decided to peel it off, going legal this summer with only 35% on the front windows.
