Mongoose

My GT has Steeda springs and I want to take advantage of the Mustang Tuning wheel offer. The plan is to use nine inch wheels in front with 255x45-18 The rear will have 10 inch wheels with 285x40-18.
Question 1
Will grinding down the front caliper be enough to clear the wheel with a 1/8 spacer or will I still have to use a 1/4 spacer? Should I purchase longer lugs? If so where to purchase?

Question 2
Will the 285x40s in the rear clear both sides of the fender and not rub?
Remember this car is lower than stock.

Question 3
I would like the chrome wheels but is that just too much flash?

Thanks in advance.

You tell me...

You should have not problem with the 285 in the rear. I'm running a 295/35 19 and Eibach pro kit. No issues at all.

What's the offer? You mean their $20 sale?

I'm also planning on going 18x10 deep dish out back.

I got the set up you are talking about. I got the steeda ultra lite's and the rims/tires you mentioned. No problems at all. Go for it
