Oh lord am I going to get hate for this. But I’m building my 67 mustang into a car that I’ve always dreamed of. It will be a wide body 2JZ swapped coupe. That being said what would be the MAXIMUM tires and rim sizes I could run, it’s going to be lowered a bit but I want 17+ inch rims I just don’t know what width or tire sizes. It will have 2 inches more in rear than the front that’s all I am sure of. Just need some help figuring it out. 4.5” wide body by the way.

the biggest tire is not always the best way to go. my advice would be to run 17x8 in front 17x9 in the rear. for tires a 235/45-17 in front and a 255/45-17 in the rear would be plenty of tire for your stang. personally though i prefer the same size tire and wheel on all four corners, but to each his own.

Think that will be able to hold 600 horse, and fit the look? I like a squared stance too, so I was thinking 9in all around.
