I finally got my cobra R rims and I'm wondering what size tires to put on them without throwing the speedo off too much

The car they're going on is an 87 5.0

also someone told me I may have issues with rubbing, is this true, if so, what would they rub on, and how could I fix it?

If they are 17x8s you can use 245/45s. I am running 99GT wheels with 245/45 tires on my lowered 85 with SN95 fronts and Mark VII rears. There is no more rubbing than I had with 10 Holes and 225/60s. Just a little bit on front of the inner fender lining.
 
i have 245/45 on the 17x9 cobras on my 88 and they touch the front sway bar under a complete lock to lock turn but as i said in another post when i replaced my 4cyl rack with a gt rack it may have not come with the rack limiters installed in it.you should go with 255/40 and 275/40 it really fills up the tire well nicely as i've seen on other stangs.
