Tire clearance?
Ok so how fat of tires can I fit in the rear with a with out having to flare the bedside and the rear will be dropped 6 inches? Up front will be lowered 5 inches I'm considering a mustang II front end, possibly widenened. The wheels size I'm shooting for are 17x8 up front. Will I be safe with a widened mustang II kit and that size wheel plus the 5 inch drop? For the rear I want 17x12 at the thinnest I would really like to go wider to somewhere around 17x15. I have no problem tubbing/customizing the bed floor im already have some costom work planned for the bed.

Re: Tire clearance?
The widest I've been able to get to fit nicely with lowered and 20" wheel in rear is 10" wide and 285 tire. ( without tubbing or sticking out). On the front I'd recommend crown Vic over mustang 2 as it drives a lot nicer in my opinion. And they can be bought for $200-400 And relatively easy install. Good luck , john
