Anyone know if you could put 17x10.5 on the rears without any problems on a 1991 convert lx? I know for sure no tips(dumps), and im not sure about the quad shocks. Please let me know if you would happen to have any info. on this subject before I buy a pair... Thanx......mike

No pipes, no quad shocks, beat the hell outta the inner sheetmetal, and it's still gonna stick out from under the wheelwell lip.

I would only go with a 10" rim at the max and you will still have problems unless you roll the fender and run coilovers.

When it comes to fox mustangs the rear inner wheel housing differs from one body style to the other. the vert has the smallest,the coupe with the middle and the hatchbackhas the most room
