Default 10.5's in front, or does anyone want to trade for 17x9's?

Hello,

Couldn't afford better wheels before, but lucked out. Picked up a set of 95' Corbra R wheels and two tires from a friend who bought some bullitt wheels. They are 17x10.5 all around. The wheels fit fine on their stock mustang, but mine is lowered with the Eibach pro kit. They seem to just barely fit with enough gap up top and a little with full left/right turn. Will they be okay(rub) when I autocross or should I just get wheel spacers?


Other mods up front are Tokiko lumina's, steeda plates,C/C bolts, and various other bushings from steeda.


Thanks


Would anyone be willing to trade almost two 17x10.5 almost new Corbra R's with falken Ziex 275/40/ZR17's
for a pair of equally new 17x9's with tread?

Avoid spacers.

Best way to see if they rub is try them. Use some shoe polish or other removable marking compound to see if and where they rub. IF they do just a little, consider massaging the offending area until it stops rubbing.

IF rubbing is substantial, check with the experienced mustang autocrossers, get many opinions, and if you decide to change rims, you will probably find a trade through them or your local mustang club.
