I was wondering if anyone has ever came across a chart of the largest size rim widths, offsets and tire sizes that will fit on our mustangs.  I would appreciate any links available.

in my experience.. nobody on this forum gives a **** about running the right size wheels and tires.. thats why im always fighting when people say "will these 275/60/15 tires fit"

the answer is "Yes they will fit you ****ing moron, but your speedo will be off because they are the wrong size"

****.. 205/40/17's will fit too.... doesnt mean im gonna put them on my car

hey adder, i got a question for you on tires.. i will be getting rims and tires soon.. hopefully 17" but maybe 16" wheels.. what size tires should i be running in the rear to keep them the right size so my speedo isnt off.. i.. am thinking 245/45/17's in the front.. and 275/45/17's in the rear... if i was going to go with 16's then i know 225/55/16's are the right size too but what other sizes could i run in a 16 to keep the same overall height right?
