Found this online

94-04 10TH ANNIVERSARY COBRA WHEEL & TIRE PACKAGE, CHARCOAL 17X9 5-LUG - MOUNTED & BALANCED with Sumitomo HTRZ 275/40/17 tires mounted, balanced, & ready to go. We have found this wheel & tire combination to be a direct fit for your 94-04 Mustang.

What I need to know is with a wheel/tire size that big on all 4, will there be any rubbing issues if used on a 94 GT Conv.?

It would be nice to able to rotate the tires, but I thought this would be too big up front. I know it states it is a "direct fit" but I just want to be sure.

Thanks

Jim

They will fit great the only thing to keep in mind is when you turn really sharp they will rub the sway bar before you hit the rack stop! If you cant remember to stop turning the wheel before they hit you can get a set of (rack limiters) they are pretty cheap! Good luck Terry

Thanks, but I thought these were for a used set that someone had for sale.

My 95 has Termy wheels on it. Factory 275s all 4 corners. No rubbing unless I turn very sharp or have fat chicks in my car. :thmbsup:

I've never even seen a fat chick hanging around you!
