Default Whats the largest tire size I can fit on a '94 ??

I will probably go with black deep dish bullets in the back, I want to know the ideal size tires to put in the rear. I want it to fill the fenders but i don't want it to stick out.....I hear 315's are optimal is that the case?also i am gonna go with 17"

you could use 315/35/17's out back, but if your car is lowered you're gonna have to roll the lip on the ¼ panel or the tire will rub, slightly, but it will rub. My car is lowered 2" with 315's and I had to do roll the lip. Just my us$.02
oh by the way you're going to need at least a 17x10 wheel to fit that tire size

94-98 can fit 315's in the rear on a 10.5" wheel and they don't rub. My car is pretty low. I had them on my old wheels. The only issue you might have is that your exhaust may have to be moved as it can rub the inside of the wheel.

What made you not get them again? and go for the 18's?

18" tires are big dollars down here. All the Aussie cars can't fit bigger than 245's. My current tires 285/30-18 were close to $500 each let alone going 315's ! Plus I don't need that much traction. I am happy with my current size.

Just remember, fitting 315's all depends on getting the perfect wheel off-set. If they are not right, they will rub. There was a good article in Mustang Weekly a year or two ago. Well worth the read.
