295/40 for rear is also a good option but i think you only have 18x9 wheels on the roush but not sure, so 295 might be pushing it

Do you have any problems with the fronts rubbing? I just bought a set of the GT500 wheels and have been trying to decide on tires. How much drop do you have?

Thanks! I just also bought the FRPP 1" drop kit so I may be OK. I'm also thinking maybe I'll go with 275/40 on the fronts. One more question....Are your center caps the stock Ford pieces? My wheels came with the SVT caps and I wanted to use the Mustang ones.

so 285/40s would only rub if the car is lowered right?
