What is the maximum wheel width that will fit the front end of a stock 2006 Mustang GT in the Weldstar RT series?

Also, will these clear the large diameter stock TRW caliper piston housings?

It looks like only a 4" will fit up front due to the tie rod ends and the caliper distance exceeding a 15" diameter from the hub center.

Thanks,

Rich

Rich,

Just the 15x4 RT Series fits the front of the stock GT, anything wider just won't fit around the caliper. The rear is good with a 15x10 at 7.5" backspace.

I'm not familiar with the TRW your are referring to. Is that the GT500 set up?

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,

Thanks for the reply. I am going with 15x8's rear and 15x4's front.

The 'TRW' reference was regarding OEM of the stock GT calipers.
