Title: Got new tires....took some pics...
Post by: bduly on September 11, 2005, 11:27:19 PM
I put 245-45s on the front and 275-40s in the rear. I have ZERO issues on the front with this size tire...infact I may go a step wider next time around. Before I had 225-35s and they were too small for 9" wide rims.

I didn't even notice it with the tires alone. But I put in a 3.73 TC rear end this summer and have yet to change the speedo gear. The speedo is basicaly useless right now.

What is the backspacing on your rims? When I changed over to 5 lug with 03 cobra rims w/245 45 my front tires stick out just slightly. drives me crazy.

Exactly. Fox mustang lower control arms are the instant cure for that issue.

I Like It, As A Matter Of Fact My Car Is Almost The Same As Yours But My Tbird Is Running 235/45/17 Front On 17x8's And
275/40/17 On The Rear 17x9's. And The Car Is Lowered Fms C Springs On Front And  The 88 Sport Springs On The Rear With One Coil Cut. I Put The C Rears On But It Sat Way To Low. Any Way Your Car Is Very Nice. :d

What are your alignment specs with the Fox arms? How much negative camber can you get?

Wow, 245´s in the front without problems, thats a good job. I like it.

These 205 60 in my car are KILLING MY CORNERS ! (Hey, do you wanted to be different using Contour Rims Right ?.....)
