Default Need help with new wheels and tires
I need to get some new wheels and tires on my mustang. Been looking at American Racing Torque Thrust wheels in maybe some 17x8's all around or maybe staggered somehow. Not sure on backspacing or tire size though. I would like to fit at least some 245's on the back and maybe 225's on the front. Check out my pics and let me know what you think I can fit.

245's should fit no problem.

How do you like the Total Control Produts setup?

That looks sweet, did you change the speedo gear to recalibrate?

Based on the photo comparison alone I would say that wasn't needed.

Love it. It rides like a cadillac and handles like a race car

I would rather have what is on the car now that anything bigger than 16s. If you go with some 15-16 inch torque thrusts, that would looks sweet.
