The title about says it all. I have an 85 GT and want to mount 17 X 9 rims with 235/45 17 tires in the front and 275/40 17 in the back. I've been told I have to swap out the spindles for 87 and up versions. This would also mean that I would have to replace rotors and struts. I would like to avoid this because I just did the brakes late last summer (rotors also have longer hardend studs) and put on a new set of Koni struts. I am confused by this knowing that the 87 to 91 LX's came with the same 10 hole rims that the 85/86 GT's did. Since those rims cleared the later model spindles and also came with 11" rotors why can't I keep my stock set up?
Thanks in advance for any advise or opinions.
