I have been saving up for a while and the time has come to buy a new set of wheels and tires (my old Cobra R Rims are beginning to flake. QQ) I have a 94 Cobra and wanted to see if this would fit.
https://lmr.com/item/WK-1007SBC/94-04-mustang-bullitt-wheel-kit-chrome-17x9-10-5
and the order a set of 275/40 (Nitto NT555 G2) for the front and 315/35 (Nitto NT05R) for the back.
By everything I'm reading these should fit. I was just wondering if anybody has run these or had problems running them.
Thanks for everything.
This is strictly a Friday/fun car It is not my daily driver.

Plenty have run those exact same wheels with no issues. If your lowered quite a bit then you will need to roll your rear fenders.

Thanks a lot man. I do have an aftermarket suspension but it is still stock height. Your word isn't the only thing im going off of, but i at least wanted some anecdotes to back up what I've been reading. Right at 1500 dollars is a lot to spend with no return policies in place if you have the wrong size.

Search through the forum and you can find tons of pics with guys who have run those. They’re classics but they always look good.

They make for a nice fat stance with the 315’s. They look especially good with the right exhaust tips from the rear.

They will fit fine. I have had that exact combo on a couple of lowered cars with no problems.

same here have run this setup. only interference you may find is the 275 fronts on lock to lock may hit your front sway bar, particularly if you have a larger than stock bar. otherwise, no issues, shouldn't have to roll the fenders either in the back.

i run the same ones but black. You can fit 315s on the rear with a little room to spare. No rolled fenders either.
also nice ride man
