I was wondering if a notch will have clearance issues if I ran 18x10 in the rear and 18x9 in front. It is lowered on C-springs (I think 1 inch). What size tires can I safely run? Thanks!

so would the best bet be to just stick with 17's? Also, what is the widest tire I can run if I want it to tuck?

you will not have issues assuming u run fox axles and 275 tires. that said ithink i could even squeeze a 285. i have the same setup on my 92gt without any issues.0

well the car has a 5-lug conversion...so I'm assuming that it doesn't have fox axles. But I dont know (still trying to learn about foxbodies) I could be completely wrong ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

so what size tires do you run with 8.5" rims? Its currently on 17x9 cobra R's on all 4 corners, with 245's up front.When I drove it, it kind of rubbed when fully turned...it was going down a driveway though. But the car is only dropped on C-springs (about 1 inch).
