What size wheel/tire combo do you have?

[88 Fox GT]

Just curious as to what you are all using. I am wanting to go up to 16" wheels. I'm thinking 16x7 or 16x8. But I'm wanting to use about a 245/40/16 tire so I may have to use 8" wheel. Any suggestions?
Post pics of your wheels & tires if you have them!
Thanks.

I keep wheels charts here:
Http://www.dodgestang.com/mustang.htm

They don't have pictures, but they track rim size, backspacing, tire size, suspension mods, brakes mods, body mods, ann other kinda things done to fit a combo on a car.

Here is mine with 17x8 4.75 BS 255 40 17 tire in the rear 235 45 17 tire in the front

Fender lips rolled and here is street set up:

On rear 8 1/2 x 15 Torque Thrust with 3.75 backspace. Using 245/50 x 15 BF Goodrich radial. Rear is narrowed 1/2" each side.

At the track I switch to 245/45 x 45 Hoosier Street TD's Bias Ply front and rear.

Old and New:

Crag S/S's for the look and Toyo T1-S for sticky.

There's another tire out there other than Toyo? Hmmm . . . why?
