Default 1990 Mustang LX 5.0 Suspension, Wheel, and Tire set-up.

I have been doing some research on various set-ups and I seem to be stuck on the appropriate tire size for what i want to use. I am going to be using this for my suspension. It will lower the car approximately .75 - 1.25" on all four corners. I am wanting to use these wheels. Just from browsing the forums I know that in the rear there will not be an issue with clearance of the quad shock. But I am unclear if there will be rubbing issues in a hard turn on the front.

With all that said, what is the maximum size tire that I can install without having to worry about doing any modifications to the fender wells or wheel wells? Thanks for your help!

Default Further to my own discussion!

I'm at a loss now. I have found a better deal on www.cruizinconcepts.com for my struts, and springs kit. There is one problem though. I don't know if a set of 1.25" lowering springs will be in the way of my 17x9" rims with 235/45R17's. Am I going to encounter any fitment issues such as, rubbing or bottoming out. Please me I don't want to purchase all this stuff without confirmation. So in other words, in don't trust my judgement to well.
