FYI:

I have 18x9s on all 4 corners and I run 275s UP FRONT and 295s out back.
I couldn't imagine having a 275 on a 10.5 wheel.
10.5s need AT LEAST a 295. 315s look bitchin though. You could even fit a 335 if you really wanted to!
Bottomline is, If you are only installing 275s, then just go with a 9" wheel.

I have 17" Bullitt replicas on mine.. Sumitomo 315-35's fit perfect...I had to only flip the quad shocks to clear the tire...5 minute job...nothing else needed and the car is lowered 1.5" Eibach Prokit Plus.

Mustanger, what offset are the rear wheels? Nice wheels by the way.


Sorry I don't know the exact offsets... I bought them from Stage3motorsports.com great guys to deal with, either Bill or Ethan. Just had a clearance sale, might have some DD rims left. They are Replicas, 17" and came with no papers with specs, but they fit perfect on my lowered car. The right front just kisses the swaybar at full lock ...not a problem. I worried about the fender lips but never hit them, sure wish it was Spring here in Oregon so I could go driving more!

i got my rims in and placed them in the rear.. they definitly are a tight fit im worried if i go 315 because it looks like the tire would rub on the inside of the fender well there is a little less than an inch from the edge of the rim to the wall..... also looks like i could flip the quads and get it to work and probably customize teh parking brake bracket...the exhaust should clear tho....how far do your tires stick out from the rim on 315's?

thats the normal for 10.5s, and people run 315s with a few modifications to the parking brake modifications, and flipped quads.

315 good choice, i get tons of compliments on mine. a little bit of work to stop rubbing issues but worth it.

I have the 10.5 inch cobra wheels I bought off of ebay with +27 mm backspacing. I put 275 40 17 BFG G force kdw tires on them and they look amazing. I don't think they are too narrow, but maybe the bfg tire runs wide in that size. the only fitment issues I had were the parking brake cable brackets had to be beat down and I removed the quad shocks which were blown anyway.

I just put in 17x9 in front 255, and 17x10.5 315/35. No problem in fitment. Took out quad shock.
