Rear Tire Fitment
Up Next

Thanks to a few tips from other Mustang enthusiasts, the rear wheel well modifications were not too difficult. The front portion of the wheel well was enlarged. The bumper top had a little metal trimmed off which projected into the wheel well. The flange of the inner wheelhouse was dollied a little to fold sharp edges away from potential tire contact. The wheel lip was trimmed and rolled slightly when the new rear quarters were mated with the new outer wheelhouses.

The 275-40-18 tires used for mock up have about 1.25 inches of clearance on all sides when centered in the wheelhouses.
