Tire clearance?

Post by Mr-Dyslexic »

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.

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
