I was thinking if he was lowering it, that the tire would rub if he has 10.5 on, i have the Bullett DD on my car and they barly fit in there. i can only get a finger behind the wheel. most of the time you wont have to cut the fender, just have to roll it. you never know though.

I say the FR500's... They are a great looking wheel design which helps freshen and update the look of your ever so slightly older car. They are very exotic looking and relate to the Ford GT.

I was nostalgic for the Bullitt wheels when I first got my car but everyone has them now so your car would stand out more if you did something different. There are not any other wheels that I would like for my own car other than the FR500 wheels.

I tend to stay away from aftermarket designs that were not offered on production Mustangs or available as an official dealer accessory simply because I like a Ford sanctioned look.

the rears on mine are 315/35/18 clear by a good margin on the inside(mostly b/c no stock control arms) and they are dead even with the wheel well on the outside. had 95 cobra r's with 275/45/17 and they were inside the fenders on the rear

They need to make it in 18s cuz that rim looks really small in 17inches.

Same here Chris. 18s are "okay" but just barely in my book.

they're a little better suited on the S197s, but I really don't like much of anything overr 17"
