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 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.
