I have them on my car,and the quads are still on,if you go to a bigger tire 305 or 315 they will rub and most likely you will take them off(i have 295's)no problems

I have 17x11's in the back with Nitto 315's. It rubs a tiny bit on the quads and tailpipes, but nothing I cant live with.

What do you do when it comes to rotating tires?

It's not a good idea to rotate your tires on a mustang. If your back tires are bad, and you put them on the front, bye-bye cornering. I tried it, it sucks. Since I won't ever rotate my tires on the stang again, I also run 315's out back.

Go with the 315s, i had them and they were great!! Look much better. Only thing i did was hammer the inner fender a little bit to eliminate the rubbing... other than that its all good

I have the same rims as jtkz13 and also run a 315 tire. I had to flip my quad shock and other than a little hammering (about 2min for both sides) to a part of the wheelwell in the back I have no rubbing issues. I also have 2 1/2 I/D exh.

If your back tires are bad I agree. But if you are rotating your tires consistently and they are the same size then why is it bad to rotate tires on a mustang. I don't get it. I rotate my tires every 5K miles and they have good wear patterns. But I do understand that if you have wider tires in the back than the front you can't rotate them. But if they are the same size why is it bad to rotate tires. Peace
