Guys don't shoot me here ... I just need some help again. Wheely, I do. I searched but failed horribly for TR goodies. Had a thread recently about issues on the 93 4cyl coupe ... research now is for my son's car.

Using 17 x 9 Cobra R's --- how large (tire) can we go with under the Fox Body rears? Wheels read 24mm on the back if this helps.

Looking for actual experienced info to make a quick decision for Cory's 89 hatch. GT is lowered... courtesy of mom & dad and Eibach Pro kit.

 

i'd go with a 275-40-17.

 

+1.. Thats what was on my GT before I went with Welds

 

what about the quad shocks?

 

i think you have to take the quad shocks out and remove the tail pipes and run dumps

 

a little drastic just for 275s don't ya think? just flip the quads and you'll have plenty of clearence.

 

His car will look nice, it sounds to me. Later, Daddio (that's me) gets them back for the 93 LX I found laying around at Meg's hacienda. Will I have any fitment issues with it?
>>> Will soon be converting to complete V-8 GT front end and 3.55 equipped 8.8 rear assembly. <<<

BTW - Where can I find a center cap?

 

From the PM i sent you Stangitman, I made a mistake, they are 17x9. And When I had my GT, the tires were a 275/40/17. For some reason I could not just flip the one shock, I had to just take it off. But I did not feel like I lost anything from just taking it out.

 

Gottcha, 17x9's --- sounds like 275/40-17 rear with 245/45-17 front is a success story for both coupe and hatch, you guys agree?

My reads find both tires are 25.7 tall. Got a source for Fuzion ZRi's at no higher than $400 rolling out the door!

 

245 might look funny on a 9" wheel, might want to go with a 255
