ANOTHER wheel question...
 
On a 95 GT, what is the best way to have the rear wheel well filled out? Spacers, what size - are they safe/secure? Or backspacing on new rims? I have the stock 17" "6 spokes" now, and am starting to be sick of the almost 3 inch gap between the tire edge and wheel well edge.

Weld recommends no more than a 1/4" spacer, I don't think that will help you. I used spacers on the rear when I had the McCrearys on once, I just didn't feel real safe with them so I took them off. I have to use them on the front with my new 15x6 welds, the 15x6s rub a small part of the brakes without it.

What size tire do you have on the back? Just curious..

That sure looks poor, but dropping the car about 1.5" and having 315's on 10.5" wide cobra "R" replica rear wheels from www.afswheels.com will help you out. http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...oard/smile.gif

Call me old school, but I kinda like having all the same wheel sizes. However, if the 10.5 will fill it out, I may try it. With the 10.5, do I need to remove the quad shocks?

10.5" fills them out just fine. Even about 1.5-1.7" lowered you shouldn't have to do any modifications to fit them. And IMHO those cobra R wheels look damn good.

I would also like to have f/r swappable tires, old school or not, but with those 245's on 8" wide wheels those rear fenders just look so empty. Spacers are not an option.
