Choosing a new tire

Eagle2000GT · March 16th, 2010, 12:42 PM

I'm running these on the front. They look similar to a deep dish because of the rim but they are still only 17x9.

i have 9" wide deep dish wheels in the front, the wheel doesnt need to be 10.5" wide to be deep dish.

^^^^^now dont get me wrong, it took a lot of time and effort with a 2x4 and a BFH to clearance the inner fender to fit this tire and we HAD to roll the fender. It wasnt a just bolt on and go, youll spend a few hrs hitting, checking, re hitting and on and on

no problem. Did you have to completely roll the fender lip? This is one of the reasons I haven't bothered with the paint yet

You didn't have to run any spacers did you?

I won't lie, foxes with full fenders make me pitch a coleman! tent

we did just so we wouldnt have to go back and do it again if it was needed. I dont recall a spacer, if it was, it was tiny like 1/8th inch or so if that.

The '99~'04+ Mustangs are adjustable via hand-held tuner, so your car will need to be adjusted via the small gear in the transmission. A speed-Cal will not work, as the speedometer is mechically tied to the gear in transmission and hence no way to address it electrically.

EDIT: Thanks, Jesse and always funny to see this thread pop up every few months

i don't know why anyone would ever give you reps for doing that..

Generally the rule is search if you can't find your specific answer after searching, make a thread. Not really necessary to bring up old threads asking questions or giving credit to them..

Its not a big deal though.

isnt it funny
