I USE TO HAVE A 2000 MUSTANG. AND I BOUGHT SOME 18X7.5 WHEELS WITH 245/40/18'S. THEY RUBBED AT A FULL CUT OF THE WHEEL. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY. BUT I TOOK MINE TO A WHEEL AND TIRE SHOP AND THEY SAID MY WHEELS WERE NOT THE CORRECT OFF SET. THEN I SOLD THAT MUSTANG AND BOUGHT A 2001. SINCE THEN I BOUGHT STEEDA ULTRA LIGHT 18X9'S AND I WAS AFARID THEY'D RUB TO. BUT I TOOK IT TO A GREAT PLACE CALLED THE WHEEL SOURCE AND THEY SAID I COULD FIT UP TO A 285-35-18 ON THE FRONT AND A 315-35-18 ON THE REAR AND HAVE NO TROUBLE. IT WAS HARD TO BELIEVE SO I JUST WENT WITH A 265-35-18 ALL THE WAY AROUND. AND I JUST LOWERED IT TO. NEVER ONCE HAS IT RUBBED. THE GUYS AT WHEEL SOURCE SAID THAT IF A 18X9 WHEEL RUBS ON A NEWER MUSTANG IT WOULD ALMOST HAVE TO BE THE INCORRECT OFF SET. ARE THESE WHEELS THE REAL COBRA R Y2K'S FROM FORD? IF SO I DON'T KNOW WHY YOUR HAVING TROUBLE, BUT IF IT'S FROM THE LOCAL BOB&TOM'S WHEELS AND TIRES, THEN IT COULD JUST BE THE WRONG OFF SET.
