Does anyone have 17in deep dish rims!

[1997stang]

Hey guys, does anyone have 17in 10.5 deep dish rims in the back like FR500 or Bullits? Im wondering if they fit and if you have them please post up a picture! And also, any with 315s on them?

Thanks!
Mike

That fitment will fit with minor modification rather it is adding spacers or some people shave down the IRS bolt but in doing so 10.5s can be made to fit with a 315/35R17 but make sure you pick the right brand of tire because some have molds that are thinner than others. Sumitomo and Nittos tend to be thinner than say BFG KD/Ws, Goodyear GS-D3s or Yokohama AVS Sports to name a few.

Thanks alot! So if i get some wheel spacers the deep dish FR500s with 315s should fit in the back?

Absolutely. I would recommend spacers or a bolt on adapter kit anyhow since the 10.5 on IRS car doesn't sit as wide as a SRA car.

i have 17x10.5 Fr500's with 315s on my 2001 Cobra... no spacers...the car is slammed on its nuts though so the irs bolt isnt a problem either

Were they a decent tire? I was thinking of getting the HTRZ 315s for the back and the 245s for the front.

Well for the price they're a decent tire. To easily spun if you have a slightly heavy right foot but again you get what you pay for. I ran them for 1 winter and they fared alright, no complaints. Just don't drive like a jack ass and you'll be fine, they should last a while as long as you take care of them. One of the perks to working at Discount Tire was I got to try out just about every tire out there. Hope that helps!
