I am leaning towards 17's just because I know I'd have to roll my fenders if I had 18's. All think I'll need for 315's are the low profile IRS bolts right? Will I need a spacer? Do you think I'll rub with the 17's? I think black 03 reps!?

My car is slammed on 18" CCWs with 345 tires and my fenders are not rolled, and it hardly ever rubs unless I hit a really big dip. I'd go with black 18" Saleens out of all the budget wheels.

Good to know!

I can't justify spending the coin on ccws right now otherwise I would.

I have 18" Fr500 that are black with polished lip and I love the look of it. Most people do and as far as rubbing issues I have none. I am also not slammed to the ground either.

03/04 reps and FR's are on every other mustang and are a bit over played IMO. Check out some other brands like fisk or what about 10th ann. Cobras..... Just my thoughts. But in the end it's your car and you have to like how it looks.
