First off, congrats on the purchase and welcome to :SNSign:
There are numerous people on here that may chime in on this
Now to bombard you with questions
What width wheels did you get? What kind of driving do you mainly do? What is your preference on tire(sidewall)height? Any thoughts of lowering it that may affect your tire size(these cars have large and forgiving fenders so this may not come into play at all)?

the width of the wheels is 8.5 i mainly just drive as a sunday driver now with gas the way it is.But as far as spinning goes when i mash the throttle i would rather it just hook up and go.I really dont plan on lowering it or should i?

My opinion on lowering - do it. I don't like the stock ride height and stance. The wheel wells are large and need to be filled up a bit. Just my taste - yours may vary. Congrats on the new stang!
