15x3.5 on the front and you will have to grind down the caliper and or the bracket not sure but as for the backspacing I am not sure. and for the back I would go with 15x10s and I am sure someone will chime in on the backspacing. and on the front you might have to use wheel spacers as well. Thats what my buddy had to do and he has a 03 Mach 1.

For a 99-04 you need a 7/16" spacer for the front. For the rear, a 8 inch wide wheel you should go with a 5.5" backspace, and a 6.5" backspace for a 10 inch wide wheel. Don't forget studs and lugs for those wheels. As for tire size it depends on the width of the wheel and height you want.
