Mustang IIs and "Pony" wheels.
The 16x7" Pony wheels are an awesome looking wheel that originally came along on the fox-body Mustangs.
The Mustang II was, unfortunately, shod with 13" wheels and skinny tires in every single version of the car, a SERIOUS error on Ford's part from both an aesthetic and performance standpoint.
To complicate things, with the vase majority of cars now using a 15" wheel or larger, the number of 13" tire sizes to choose from is dwindling.
So what's a Mustang II owner to do?
One nice-looking option is to upgrade to the Pony wheels from a fox-body.
The wheels themselves clear the front suspension (something 15x7 fox-body wheels can't do without spacers), and they look great.
The biggest tires I've been able to fit are:
Front: 205/55/16
Rear: 255/55/16
You can see them on my car below:

Fenders are untouched. I originally tried to run the same size in the front as in the rear, but they touched the fender lips when hitting a big bump or taking a tight turn, so I went down to the current size on the front to solve the problem.
