Wheels Question
 

I have an 82 GT with a 98 T-Bird rear end. Also installed SouthSide's and a pinion relocator kit.

My question is can I put 17"x10.5" rims under it and not tear tire's up.

Was thinking about the Cobra R's 17x10.5 and the Nitto's P315/35R-17 for the rear and 17x9's and P245/45/17 for the front.

Any better suggestions would be helpful.

I am going to assume you ment a 88 turbo coupe rear end. I currently have 17-9 speedware cobra r rims on my 93 gt with 3 in. tailpipes, and it fits tight. The rub the pipes a little(getting rid of them). My brother just bought a set of 15-10.5 bogarts, they told him he would have to do major surgey to the wheel wells. Like beat the living **** out of the inner side, cut the fender lip, shave some of his groung effects and mabey use a spacer. To me, this sounds like a lot of works just to run a 10 in. wide rim. Go with the 17-9, youll be happier in the end.

Thanks for the help, the idiots I talked with told me there would be no problem running these under an 82 with a swapped out rear in. So much for mail order.
