Ended up getting new wheels so looking to get rid of these.

AFS Cobra replica wheels. 17x10.5 with Nitto NT05Rs 315/35r17 tires.

Tires have maybe 1500 miles on them. I drove from West Virginia to Mustang week and back.

$742 invested in this set up (not including shipping or taxes)

Wish I could get my wife convinced on buying the wheels and tires!

They're nice! As long as its not raining... I tested them in rain doing 45 mph in 5th and slightly tapped the throttle with no traffic around... going sideways was not cool.

What size spacers must be used with these wheels?

I ran a 3/8s. Since the NT05Rs run narrow, you probably dont need one. I also had H&R street coils and MM isolators I n the rear. You will need low profile IRS bolts. The tires touch the bolts when the suspension is unloaded.

Makes sense. I have 1/4" spacers, and h&r race springs. Do the isolators drop the rear even more?
I can get the bolts. Just trying to make sure the wheels would fit without running the pretty mystic paint off my wheel wells ;)
Makes sense they're thinner tires, I have some on my 17x9's and they sure did look thin!

Isolators make the car ride higher then if I didn't put any back in.

Here are a couple pics of the setup
