Wondering if anyone with a 1990 mustang, or something similar, with a 5 lug conversion can tell and/or show me pics of what they are running on their car.
Im looking for examples mainly of offset wheels for front and back with a thicker wide tire in the back but open to any ideas that looks good.

Size of tire and wheel would be helpful as I dont know much about cars but am working to fix one up for my bf

I put 315s on mine. I regretted it almost instantly. 275 is a much better suited tire.

The 275 has NO rim protection but it does fit nicely. I think the 10.5 looks too big on a fox and have contemplated going back to a 9 but its still getting the job done!

I LOVE the way fat steamrollers look out back but there is no way to eliminate all the rub without a mini tub or pushing them out and running flares. I'm bored with my fr500s. Once the rest of the car is where I want it they are coming off and I'm going with a 9" wheel again.

Agreed 17x9 w/ a 275 series tire looks/fits best IMO
