Rims & tires, how big, 1984 Mustang GT?

8fo5ohgeetee · 08-31-2008

How much rim and tire can I stuff onto my '84 GT before the tires start rubbing or scraping something? Is there a way to figure this out or is it just trial and error? Does anyone have any experience with this? I've got 16x7 rims with 225/50's on there now. I'm thinking about 17x8 or maybe even 17x9 rims if I can get away with it with NO scraping EVER. Thanks

17x9's should be fine. I think you may even be able to go with 17x10's but im not sure. And the widest tire you could go is 275 or 295 but not on the front, a 17 with a 275 on the front will rub no doubt but it should be good on the back.
