17x9 with 315/35 fit outback?
17x9 Mustang wheels with 315/35 Nitto Drag Radials fit out back on my s4(with s5 brake swap)?
Is there any chance I can get those to fit on a FC?
Would the offset help?
Also if it matters I have AGX adj struts, and Ground Control coil-overs

we still need the offset, just like i said in the other thread, and probably not, just like i said.
Either way, 315mm of tire is going to protrude past the wheelwell. And i'm not sure how happy a 315 tire is going to be mounted up to a 9" wheel.

Well I can get the wheels without the tires. So thats not a problem but I need to know what type of tire I can get out back. Because I can get Mustang GT wheels cheaper then Cobra R's. But the cobra r's are wider. I just don't want to buy wheels that aren't going to work.

Not only will that not come close to fitting, but you need a minimum 10.5" wide wheel to run that tire (from Nitto's specs).
Exactly why do you think you need that much tire, have you used 255 or 275 drag tires and found them lacking?

hahahaha....... No i'd run 275 nitto drags. thats all u need i have a friend that had 17x9's with the 275's and recently upgraded to 17x11's with the 315's same tire brand and everything, he was expecting a big improvement but only went from a 1.8 60 ft to a 1.74 with the 315's. imo if you need traction that bad get some ET streets and call it a day.
