Re: 1965 Ford Mustang

I absolutely made the right choice. I wish it was out in the sun, they look killer on the car.

I figured out my tire sizes. After a ton of reading, you apparently want your tires a little wider than the wheels, duh, and being that my actual wheel widths are 7-7/8" and 8-7/8" I'm going to go with 205/50/17 front and 235/45/17 rear. That will give me 8.07 & 9.25 inch widths and 25.07 amd 25.33 inch heights, respectively. So they should fit the rims nice, tuck the wheel wells, and the backs will have just a touch more height. My stock tire size is 205/70/14's which are about 25.3" high.
