I got a 94-98 rearend in my 99 GT. Which causes the wheels to set in a little bit, My question is will the 345/40/17 Toyo Tqs tuck well in my fenders? I got stock springs heated for lowering, which im getting rid of soon. Especially if my new toyos do not tuck nice.. If they don't, What springs should I buy to lower my car? I'm thinking bout just getting more stock springs, and cutting half a coil at a time til the stance is perfect.

10.5 fr500s. Don't feel like buying some Streetlites yet. lol
As of now I got some 295/35/18s right now and it sticks about a inch and a half inside the wheel lip on these heated springs and it is lowered about 2-2.5 inches all the way around

lol okay. Reason why you're using a bigger tire instead of a taller tire and a smaller wheel?

345/40s are taller....they are a 28 inch tall tire....

If you have a 94-98 rear end and the normal offset 17x10.5s it really shouldnt stick out at all from the fenders IMO.

It may rub inside forcing you to run a spacer.

I just beat the hell out of my inner fender with a hammer to fit 335s lol

I'll get a spacer if needed. Reason I'm wanting to use a bigger tire on a 17 is cause they don't make fr500s in 15s or 16s.. I don't think atleast, lol. I'm trying to do the budget way out of it..

i think you're wasting your time with a 345 on a 10.5" wheel, the proper size tire on that wheel will probably give you better traction. And if you add a spacer it's definitely going to stick out.
