You need Spacers.
Do a search of past posts. This topic has probably been covered more times than I have spanked Mustangs.

You will need 2 1/4 inch front spacers and
1 1/4 inch rear spacers. I got mine from VetteBrakes but you can also get them from Andris Skulte. Skulte charges less for the same thing, go with him.
Have fun

Heh,
I have a set of brand-spankin' new 275-40-ZR17's laying on the back of the Trans Am right now (on top of the car cover).
I also have a set of ROH ZS 17 x 9.5 inch wheels coming from Andris Skulte! It turns out that ROH now makes a wheel in the proper offset for third-gens that doesnt require spacers.
Life is good.

HybridZ. Beautiful 91 Z28. Is it Ultra Metallic Blue? I have a 91 Z28, same color, stock, 305 and 5 speed manual. My question is where can I get some touch up paint? 1 inch drop with the 17 in rims look really great. What type of wheels do you have?
