17X9 rims too big for a 2000 V6?

Domidemon · December 15th, 2006, 05:43 PM

I have a 2000 mustang V6 coupe,
does anybody have any idea why my rims front rims seem to rub when i turn the wheels?
I put on oem 2003 Cobra Rims 17X9, i thought it was the tires so i bought new tires 245/45 and they still rub so I am wondering if I have to change something so that I can put the 275/45's on it and upgrade my rears to 315's please can anyone help me??

I asked a mechanic and their dumb asses said the rims were too wide when that is obviously not the case or is it?

meh mine rub too when i crank it really hard. you can cut some of the fender well out and for the back tires get spacers?

if they rub you dont have 17x9 or your car is way to low

i have 17x9 all around

and idk how the fuck you put 315 in on a 17x9 rim

AB has 9's up front and ive never heard his rub and ive been in his car when the wheel was locked. Your car must be very low.

I have 17x9's and there is no problem...ive got 245's up front and 265's in back.

The rims are 17x9 all around they are oem cobra rims the mechanic just told me an alignment might help but as for hieght the car is stock and the 315's are posted as the biggest tires this rim should have on other forums

it is a 10.5, but in you can fit any wheel with the right backspace. to keep the wheels tucked in the fenders, on a new edge, you can go 18x10 on all 4 corners with a 295mm tire without rubbing

so you can shove 315s on a 9in wide rim?
i thought that was the biggest you could go on a 10.5

I didnt say that. I have 315s on my 10.5's but if this guy has done the math to put 315s on a 9" rim, he may be able to do it. There will be a lot of sidewall flex putting that wide a tire on that rim though.

You can go 335mm on a 10.5" wheel no problem...
