Hey guys, just bought my first ever 1995 mustang gt 5.0L v8. I have a question about wheel sizes and thought someone here might be able to help me out. So I have some 95 chrome cobra rims on it right now 17x9 and it's sitting on 245/45r17 right now but my buddy told me to find out if I can fit 255/45r17 on those rims and in my wheel well. I have adjustable coilovers that are currently sitting at 1.5in clearance. My question is would the 255/45r17 fit better on my rim than the 245/45r17 are Now? And what's the significant difference in them!!!!

I run 275/45R17 all around. It will definitely fit on the rim, and it sounds like you have enough clearance on the coil overs. If the alignment is good, there is an easy way to check. Take off the front wheels and put 275/45R17 wheels on them. If they fit right back on and don't rub when you drive around, then order another set of the same tires for the back. If not, use those as your back tires, and get 255s for the front.
