![]() the 17'' bullit wheels will fit, but you will have to do a 5 lug conversion. I have seen people run 255/ 40 R17, but the stock 245/ 45 r17 will fit as well

![]() I was informed that the 245's would rub up front unless you rolled the fenders or put 91-93 fenders on it. You should have no problem running 235 with stock fenders though. ~Brian

![]() I dunno if you have your heart set on the BULLIT wheels but they are just the old fashioned TORQUE THRUST D wheels.. might be able to get them cheaper if you get those rather then from ford..

![]() I run 275-40-17's on the back of my 91 LX Vert. I had to take off the quad shocks but that's it. They even clear my polished tail pipes just fine and they look hella sweet under there.

![]() But you have to make sure you have aftermarket control arms before you remove the quad shocks or you will have really bad wheel hop. ~Brian

![]() Yea sorry, I probably should have mentioned that. I have the problem of assuming eveybody does control arms first.
