Will these tires fit on the rear of my '09 V6 using 9" rims. The wheels are FR 500's with Nitto NT555 Extremes. I'm concerned about inner clearances using stock offset. Any help appreciated.

I have 235 55 17 on my 06 Pony V6. I am told by Ford Racing that depending on what came on the car from the factory if you go larger from stock you will need turning stops but they should work.

Thanks, I'm planning on using 235/50's on the front, so the turning stops should be no prob. It was the inner clearance on the rears that concerned me.

Went with Nitto NT555 Extremes, 255/50 ZR17's on rear and 245/45ZR17's on front. No prob at all.
