IMPORTANT QUESTION ABOUT RIMS ! ! !

DJ-Visionz · September 19th, 2005, 01:22 AM

I just got a really quick question which nobody is 110% positive about, but if somebody who really knows their shit about rims can help me here...I would really appreciate it.

I want to order those 300 Series S-Style Speed Star Design rims in eighteen inch rim, 18x9's in the front whrapped in 265/35's and 18x10.5 inches in the back whrapped in 315/35. Now I've called Steeda, Mr. Bodykits, and a couple of other companys which carry these rims that I want but they are all telling my different things... One company tells me that it's not possible to fit a rim that wide on my 1995 Mustang GT 5.0L V8, because it will rub. Then theres another company which tells me that the 315 tires will not fit and/or rub.

Keep in mind that I got:
-Eibach Sportline Springs, C/C Plates, Bumpsteer Kit, Rack Offset Bushings, Steeda Endlinks, X2 Ball Joints, Tokico Struts & Shocks, 8 Polyurehane Isolators, and Monroe Heavy Duty Quad Shocks..............INSTALLED

So I'm not sure if the Tokico's will rub, or the Monroe Quad Shocks...because I had to put 6 spacers on the Monroe Quad Shocks in the back. Reason being, the Tokico Shocks were grinding against the Quad Shocks(WEIRD huh?) That's with the quad shocks flipped with the thinner part beside the tokico shocks...rather then the stock way.

If someone who really knows for certain if this is possible on my 95' GT, I would really appreciate it...and if it's not possible, then what's the widest I can go in a rim and tire in the front without rubbing anything like the sway bar, and in the back without rubbing the quad/tokico shocks.

Thanks

18's with 315's in the rear will most likely rub.

especially with a 2" drop.

It might be a little diferent for me since mine as a 93 but Ive got a 2" drop on mine and Ive got 15x10s with 255/50s and they rub. Not bbadly but if I go over a speed bump or something they will rub.

I have got a 2 inch on my 01GT they would fit under mine. I know the back spacing is the same with the two cars. I guess it would come down to the suspension stuff you have done. The front should fit fine.

i have 315/35's on my cobra, and i think w/ a 2" drop, they would be pretty darn close to rubbing. sorry couldnt be more help.
