I put the back wheels on no problem, and then was confused why the fronts wouldn't go on. Apparently 14" rims won't fit over '90 GT brakes.
    Yes! I'm not the only one! It's what happens when the call for a significant snow fall and you finally realized you're screwed getting to work the following day so you scramble to find solutions. To be honest, I know better but crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. I suck at planning... plain and simple!

    A sort of out there option
    I have my stock 05-09 brakes which will fit 17's (replaced with brembo's)
    I know a lot of 11-14 drag guys swap to fit lighter 15" wheels
    I know when buying winter tires and wheels for my 18 that I paid significantly more for 18s then for 17s to fit the rims I bought
