You might be able to go a little wider in the back, I wouldn't go any wider in the front, mine have very little fender clearance. edit: I'm also at stock height, so if you're lowered/going to lower, may want to make sure you're going to have the clearance on top (mine rub on the fender flare when i go over hard bumps) __________________

I was think some style that looks like bullits or classic muscle car look. __________________ 2001 mustang gt 5 speed Full bolt ons with 4.10 gears. 1965 Mustang 302 with 4 Barrel edelbrock 600cfm, T5 transmission, Hurst short throw shifter.

That's without wheel caps also, but they're coming soon as my tax return comes Though, it all depends on your tastes, lots of wheels look good imo. Long as they're not too modern. I like the low profile understated look of the grey bullitts. __________________
