Front or rear? I know there is no way I can go wider in the front. Not without changing the spindle at least. And going any farther out would just mean more fender rolling.

Would fit with 1.5" spacers on the front. Fender rolling will be required. With the 1" spacer the ball joint was gently touching the tire. This is with 335/35/17's.
Fit perfectly on the rear with the 1" spacers. Plenty of room on the inside and outside of the tire.
I will post pics later when I am on broadband.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

The upgraded spindle must be pretty different. With a 17" wheel the metal around the upper ball joint is a few millimeters away from rubbing on the metal rim of the wheel. Can't wait to upgrade, then put some fender flaring on!Comment

A fender roller is about useless on our fenders. Our fenders are kinda flat across the top. The rollers are designed for an arch, you can only roll about 3-4" at a time, then you have to readjust the roller.http://secondhandracing.com/Home.aspx

They don't look any wider than the bullits, to me. Still look skinny back there...'89 Ford LTD Crown Vic - '92 Ford F-150 Custom -

Yup, I noticed that also. The bullits are 17x8 with 255/50/17's. The FR500's are 17x10.5 with 335/35/17's. But they look puny on the back.Originally posted by boXman View PostBuilder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons
