Hey, looking at lowering my fox body that has 2003 17X8 cobra rims. Im looking at a eibach kit that will lower it 1.7" front and 1.5" back. Do you think I will have any issues with this kit. Also does anyone have any pics of there lowered 5.0?

Hey guys, Im trying to put 17 inch rims on my 1991 mustang gt. The rims are 17x 9 in the front and 17x10 in the back with an offset of 25. Some people have told me that to put a 10 inch rim in the back you have to modify some stuff. Is this true? or will these rims bolt right on with no problem. I will give you the link to the rims if you want to take a look at them. Thanks

littlekxrider91:

Those wheels should be okay for your application. Personally I wouldnt exactually know since I have 17X8 front and rear. I only have a tiny bit of rubbing again my fender lining but that only when its lock to lock. 17X10 "should" be okay for the rear.

Lock to lock, as if when the steering is all the way to the left or to the right.
