Not yet I keep doing updates to my thread. I'll send you a few PM's when I get the chance I don't want to hijack the OP thread to chat.

Thanks again Waffles. Beautiful Stang you have there. Between the photos and the measurements u gave in that older post the install should go smooth, I think I'm going to go with a high gloss black for the rear and leave the front as is. The car gets here (NY) late next week and goes to the body shop on Monday. Thanks again, You were a great help.

Thanks for the illustrationn Waffles. Don't get urself fired. We need you around here. I had the wing installed it looks great but the jerks didnt make oval cut outs. I hope that doesnt cause a problem. On another note. I see that you run 245/60-15 tires in the rear. I've seen people uses as large as 265's. Looking at the 245's (26.6" x 9.8") on your car. Wld you think I would have a problem fitting 255's ( 27.1" x 10.24") without rubbing? Is there room for the 255's..
Thanks again Paul

You SHOULD be able to put 255s in there... they are a hell of a tire on it, would look great, not 100% sure on the fit though.

Make sure you post some pics when you do it!

You could fit 285s if they are the right height and correct backspacing with minor tweaks near the inner wheel well. The taller the tire, the more likely you'll make fender contact on bumps.
I'm running 275/40/17s (less than 26" dia) with lots of room all around.
