Or get the wheels you have now widen to 10"....also width won't help with traction so much as sidewall height and stiffense will, if you get a set of 16's or 15's out back with a nice soft tire you won't need anything wider....after all with a 9" slick the recorde for mustang is like a 1.5 60 ft time or somthign along those lines

I dont rember who did it but some one on here had the stock 17's widen to 10" about 8 months ago i am sure someone will remeber but you could probly find a shop in town that would do it....anyone who dose rim repair should be able to widen.
