1973 wheel selection

I had 245s for a brief time on my '73; the fender lips needed to be rolled back and even then, going lock-to-lock was a not a good idea. These were 245/60/R15, but the width should be more or less the same. 235s are the max I would use (but not that many options available).

I would also give extra thought to running tires with that low an aspect ratio. The cars actually handle better with 60 or 70 series. And having the same size rubber all around is good for longevity and wear--in fact, with the weight distribution as it is on Mustangs, for better handling, bigger tires should go on the front (except it looks really stupid to have big tires in front). Bigger tires in back are best for off-the-line performance, not handling.
