Sorry, don't have a digital cam yet. I'm have 275/40/17 tires on 17x9 genuine Ford Cobra R wheels with 5.95" backspacing. Massaging the fender lips was needed. So was removal of the quad shocks. Hope that helps.

I have P255/45ZR17 in the front and P275/40zr17 in the rear. They will rub in the front and shorten your turning radius! Also, if your stang is lowered it could rub on the fenders. Personally I am going down to 245 in the front and possibly in the rear to get my turning ability back. BUT IT LOOKS GREAT!!!
