Mach 1 Rear tire firment with Strange coil overs - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Cobracars · 02-23-2015, 02:30 PM

I currently have an 03 Mach 1 with rear Strange coil-over shocks. The shocks are in the factory location.
I wondering if anyone else has this setup and any issue with rear tire clearance.

Additionally What Weld / Racestar 15" rear wheel back spacing is recommended?
Think of a 10" tire 295 /65R15 size - Hoosiers drag radial.
Will I be able to fit a larger tire in the Mach 1.

The car is set up for True street and would like to have the widest tire possible.

I have 17x9 afs rims, with maximum Motorsports coilover kit on the rear. No issues
I recently just bought from 17x10.5's with 315/35r17's, hopefully they clear!!
I also have skinnys and slicks, prostars. 15x10 with a 6.5" back space, but you'll need gt rear brakes.
You can fit 15x8's on the rear with mach 1 rear brakes, but with a 5.5 back space
