Description: 4 new 17 x 9/10.5 Black Mustang Cobra R wheels / chrome rivets / deep dish / polished lip

I'm going to run a 245/45/17 in the front, and a 315/35/17 in the back.

I have had my car for 7 years. and I have never ordered rims yet! I have also ordered an 03 cobra front bumper etc, and some tinted headlights. So I'm pretty excited. Later this summer I plan on a 2" cowl hood! They should look pretty good on my old silver stang.

That'a what I thought. The only thing I was iffy about was the rivets, but I think I can live with them for the price.

I kinda dig them. If the rivets don't look good, black them out with a sharpie.

I'm changing the bumper and no springs, but I mentioned that in my first post. Maybe they will help put my 500 hp to the ground also.

245's on a 9" wheel will look stretched! Protect those wheels and get some 275's for the front!

It says the 245 is designed for 8-9.5 inch wheel. If it looks bad I will go up to a 275. The other thing is that I have four good 245's. I'm really pretty tapped out now. I have been doing a lot of modding the last couple years.

Put it this way...the 245's look small on an 8" stock rim....imagine what they'll look like on your new rim.

Just pray that you don't meet an angry curb if you do use that tire

IMO, a 265 or 275 is the only two sizes you should be considering for the front.
