i am looking at buying some FR500 mustang wheels for a set of DRs. my question is will a 17x10.5 rim fit over my rear brembos? (i am waiting to find out of the offsets but will let you know soon as i know) also would a set of MT et streets measuring 26x12.7x17 (P315/35R17 a bit over kill but the only other size they offer for a rim that wide is a 295/45/17 which is a 28 inch tall tire which i believe is to big but i could be wrong) be alright without rolling the fenders? thanks guys i really appreciate it! also my car if a G35 coupe equipped with brembos. THANKS ALL!

edit: i saw on MTs site that they make a non radial design as well in a 26x11.50x17 so those are a possibility aswell the first set that i mentioned are radials and these arent. since i am not really driving around on these do you believe it be better to go with a non radial? thanks guys and sorry for the newby questions, just want to do it right the first time!

i don't think you should have any problems with that offset. It should clear with a mile to spare. Like you said....id just check that sidewall height.

It would suck to have it be too close and tear stuff up when the car squats on launch.

also if you are just looking at a track setup....the mustang bullett replicas can be found in 17X10.5 for rediculously cheap.
