I'm assuming you have stock wheels??

Yes, you COULD fit them on... BUT, i dont know how good it would look, or how "safely" they'd be on there. But yeah, you could put them on.

They fit, but make you car handle like crap. Stick withe 245's up front, and as big as you want in the back.

I have 275/35/18 all around and they dont rub. If I did it again I'd go smaller up front, 245 or 255. The car pulls a lot with the bigger tires up front.

I have 275 s all around on my Bullitt and no driving issues. No pulling etc... The tires are not flush with the wheels so you have some tire bulge but I like the look. Check out www.imboc.com. Tons of Bullitt info!!!

315s on 17 inch tires is biggest for a live axle'd mustang. 18 inch its 295s. 335s would never fit.

I have 275-40-17 kumho 712's on all four rims. They do not rub at all. The front tires pull when you drive on a bad road, or when you hit some pot holes/bumps.

If I had to do it again, I'd stay with 245's up front, and 275's in back.

ive got the exact same setup. however, i wouldnt change anything. i love the look of 275s up front. so sexy. but the handling is a little more jacked up. mine just feels kinda squirly at high speeds (90+) and when cornering hard.

a taller tire will throw off your speedo(ex. 18" rim, or 245/55/17) but the width of the tire should not effect the speedo
