I dont know this for sure but from all the tire research Ive done, for the SN95s, isnt the 255/40s up front so they dont rub, and then 315/35s out back for the 10.5 wheels?

My car is a SN95 "New Edge" so I think the wheel well is the same on the '96 (cannot say for certain) I am running 275/35/18" on 9" (F) and 295/30/18" on 10.5"s (R) with 1/2" spacer on rears as well. Will go with 315/30's later this year. No rubbing issues on nearly 2" drop (extremely minor tire contact in inside plastic shield on hard turn with bump on fronts) and zero on back.
again I was just going by what I have read. 99-04s can run the 275 tires, 94-98 its suggested 255s on the fronts. Also the wheels in the ebay ad are 17s so he is probably going to want a bit more of a profile to make up for the inch less of rim compared to yours

You may be correct, as I am not as familiar with fender well clearance on '94-'98 Stangs. I would be willing to bet that a 275/35/17" on those year Stangs would be ok.
I just looked up PS2's to get an example. They currently make a 275/40/17" tire that is 25.6" diameter as measured on a 9.5" rim. This is virtually the exact same dimensions as my 275/35/18"s I am running. Now I am again willing to bet that if you found a 275/35/17" tire, it would be 1" smaller diameter and would clear wells. Now, this is easy for me to say, as I am not YAYITSJEWDAY87 (), but I would go for it. The ad says for '94-'04 Stangs and have seen these wheels on many, many Cobras over the years. Same fender wells, and clearances. To be safe, go to the SVT section of MF's and ask there. I am sure you will find out any issues just by asking.
