They'll fit, but you'll need wheel adapters as stated. I have 2000 (I was told) GT 17" x 8" wheels with 1-1/2" spacers all around. Tires are 245/40 front and 275/40 rear.
lol I've considered painting the grill gold and hanging a 12" wall clock in place of the medalion. Then I could have a Flava Flav signature Maverick!
