Question Will I need to roll my fenders?

Has anybody had any problems with tires rubbing with the 17 x 9 & 17 x 10.5 deep dish bullitt wheels? I am thinking of running 255/40/ 17 in front and 285/40/17 or larger tires in rear. Does anyone see any problems with this? Do you only have to roll your fenders if lowered? Thanks.

I'm lowered with 315's and they rub, they probably wouldn't at stock height. 285's would probably be OK lowered.

Thanks Screaming04...

Where did you get your wheels at? I found a set of black deep dish bullitts with the chrome lip from a dealer in Texas on eBay. Have you possibly heard anything regarding the quality of the wheels? They are a good price and look great in the photos...I'm just worried about how long the paint will last.

Thanks again...

Alot of people have bought them from www.mustangtuning.com. They have about the best price I've seen...free shipping? I got mine from www.crossroadzdirect.com.

I believe that everyone is selling the same product, they're made in China but I have no complaints. Don't think that I'd risk roadracing with them at the track.

Roll 'em. I ruined a DR by just waiting to see if anything would rub. Well they did and now I'm out of about $300.
