what should the backspacing be on some 17x10.5 inch wheels to fit a 93 gt and the wheels and tires not stick out the fenderwell ridiciously alot!!

 

WOULD THIS WORK????

SIZE AND SPECIFICATIONS: We have combined two different size wheels on this auction. There are two 17" x 9" (+24mm with 5.95" backspacing) for the front and two 17"x10.5" (+27mm with 6.9" backspacing) for the rear. They are 5-lug (5 on 4 ½).

 

that sounds correct but would likley rub the inside on the rear with a 3xx tire and forget about tail pipes. IMO 10.5 is too big for a street car...9" max.

 

i have no tailpipes i got it dumped right before the axle. what would be a good size tire to get for the rear?

 

anyone have sny suggestions on a good tire size?

 

Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Tire
27'' x 10.5'' - 15''LT Which is a 9 inch tire like $hawn already said.

this is how they look and fit

 

I think you will be fighting a losing battle.... I tried to put a set of 10.5's on the back of my 88 and they were just too damn wide. They fit well on my 94 with the 315's.

 

many people have used to 10.5"/315 combo on foxes with success, you just have to remove the quad shocks and beat the living hell out of the inner fenders and roll the lip of the outer fenders. If you wanna go through the trouble it will work, but as $hawn stated, go with the 9" wheel on the rear with some 275s.

 

mine stuck out about 2" on both sides.... there is no fender rolling to help that. BTW, my fenders are already rolled. It might be because I was using a 97 cobra axle back there, but that is only about 3/4" wider per side..... no quads either....

 

got some pics of what it looks like slo9fo5oh?
