Here's a story:
I had a customer from several years ago with a '66 Mustang. He had all stock suspension and he came to us looking for wheels.
He said he had read online that you could fit 17x8's on all four corners. I explained to him what i explained to you DJ.
He didn't listen.
He ordered up 4 wheels from someone else, we installed them, and when the car was on the lift....they fit perfectly. In the air, with no weight on them, they cleared just fine.
We sat the car down the ground....it was tight...couldn't even get a finger between the wheel and the fender.....but they fit.
As soon as the customer drove the car out of the shop and onto our sloped driveway...he left a coil of rubber on the ground...completely shaved off the sidewall against the fender. There weren't even letters on the tires up front anymore.
