Tires
I have an 85 GT Mustang with the stock wheels. Will 265/50-15s fit on the rear with these wheels?

RE: Tires
yea...it won't give you the ideal foot print like a 15x8 rim would give it...but it is definately better than the 225's from the factory...

RE: Tires

RE: Tires
i've actually installed 295/50's on a 15x7..they fit, but the rim walks side to side in the tire some...

RE: Tires
295's on a7inch wide rim sounds horably unsafe to me.

RE: Tires
to awnser the question, 265/50's will fit your rims, but 255's is plenty and will fit properly
