    17x9 in the front is to wide. It will have to stick out to clear. 17x10.5 will need a mini tub job & a little extra work but you should not need spacers.

    I paid someone to do my Comet. Basicly you need to make the inner wheel well go inward toward the middle of the car. The catch is that you also have to relocate some of the rear suspension like shock mounts & spring perches. You will have to move the leaf springs inward too. Make a new brace that is behind the back seat in the trunk or just maybe short the one that is on the car. Maybe one of the members on here will help out with this one because there are a few little things that have to be done to make the whole process. I think it was worth every bit though.

    I have 17 x 9 all around with 1" spacer in front and 1.1/4" in back fits good.

    That means you have the 94 & later year mustang offset rims. I have the early mustang offset rims for the front & the 94 mustang offset rims for the rear. That way no spacers are needed.
