Going with a 9" and 10.5" Wide mustang wheel?

[BaliLover]

I found a set of wheels from a mustang in a 17x9" +24 front, and a 17x10.5" +27 for dirt cheap, with the 5x114.3 bolt pattern and I was wondering if anyone knew whether they will fit on my car with a roll or a pull, or possibly wide fenders.

The price I can get these wheels for would leave me enough to do a 5 lug conversion and I wouldn't mind forking out some cash on wide fenders if I have to, but I'm not sure if I'd need to or not.

I'm running the megan racing coilovers, with a 17x7.5" +35 215/45/17 all around right now and I've got good clearance between the tire and strut. If my math is right, these will have a backspacing of about a 1/2 more than my current wheels.

My other question is tire size, What tire sizes should I be looking at for these wheels, I don't want the super stretch look if I can help it, but I know I might not have a choice.

is this on s13 or s14? thoes sizes are OK, you could always throw some spacers on it. I am pretty sure thoes will clear your struts but i wouldnt rule out a plate spacer or 2, just in case. and your math is kindof goofy, 17x10.5 +27 is going to be 30mm closer to the strut. (a little more than 2 inches). you are almost spot on with the front, which will have 8mm less clearance.

25.4mm=1"so its just over 1" closer.

Yes, I was talking about the fronts when I said a 1/2" closer, and its actually less, but it sticks out about 20mms more.

I know I can go in an inch in the rear, and the 10.5s will stick out almost 50mm than I am now, making perfect use of some wide fenders.

And this is an S13

Looks like I'll be going widebody.
