    Question Cobra 17x9's, Will they rub???

    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

    17x9 will fit all around. i know guys running 275 in the rear and 245/255 up front.

    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
