Question Wheels and Tires for my 96 GT. will they fit?

I found an add on craigslist for some used Cobra R Wheels and Fusion ZRI tires.

4 cobra R Rims 18"
Back 275/40R17
Front 245/45R17

Will these fit my 96 Mustang GT? and do ya think this is a good setup and whatnot? thanks
-Mike

They will fit fine, even if lowered.

As for what it will look like, who cares what I think, as long as you like them

Make sure that the 18" is a typo.

If you're getting sent 18" rims, 17" tires won't quite do the job.

IF it's supposed to be 17" wheels and it's a typo, then yes, the tires will all work well.
IF it's actually 18" rims and the typo is on the tire size, then the sizes will likely be off.

wow true that. haha i didnt notice that... they must be 17''s then... cause he was sure when i spoke with him on the phone and read the tire dimensions.

however, if they are 18''s and 18'' tires, would it fit?
