[Q] 17" 2005-09 mags on 1997 GT

Apr 23, 2009 1 Replies

Hi folks,



Card's on the bar - I have a simple question (or two).


1) Would 17" mags/tires off a 2005+ Mustang GT fit on a stock 1997 GT, or would they rub?


2) Would these same 17" mags/tires off a 2005+ Mustang GT fit on a *my* 1997 GT, which has been lowered by about 2 inches?



As a data point, 225/55-16s on stock mags fit perfectly and don't rub, but 215/60-16 winter tires on the same mags rub slightly at the extremes.



Thanks in advance!


Those 17"s will be an inch taller and 20mm wider than your snows. You could get lower profile tires to fit. I have 275/40/17 around on my

2000 GT with 03 Cobra wheels.
