I looked thru didnt see anything. Looking for wheels and tires for a 95 5.0... being told yes and no with 9in wide will and will not fit? Looking at 255/50ish/17or18. Will it fit without issues? What brand and style wheels are most of you rocking. Seems to be hard to find a wheel in 17x9 or 18x9. Thanks.

Go here and check out who is rocking what: https://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/post-your-newest-stang-pic-94-95-cars-only.504714/
Some have build or progress threads you can skim through to find what wheel/tire combo they have.
To answer your question on if they will fit, thats a yes, pay attention to back spacing.

On my project 94 I'm going with the following, going big.

Fronts: Cobra "R" Rim Size 17x9 with Nitto G2 Tires 275-45-17
Rears: Cobra "R" Rims Size 17x10.5 with Nitto G2 Tires 315-35-17

My previous 94 had the following.
Fronts: 03 Cobra Rims 17x8 with Nitto Tires 275-45-17
Rears: 03 Cobra Rims 17x8 with Nitto Tires 275-45-17
Lowered with 5300-C Springs it needed rack spacers to avoid rubbing.

When I sold the car the new owner cut the rear wheel in half and welded in 2 inches and got a 335-30-17 tire to fit out back.
