Theyre actually not sticking out, theyre flush with te fender well, which is what makes me think theyre not 315s.... MAYBE 305 max, unless someone did one hell of a fit job.

They're actually the 235/45/17's on 17x7 rims off my 99 ford ranger. I photoshopped some extra rubber to see what it would look like. Sorry if I mislead anyone, I was just wondering how wide of tire it would take to get that look.

The offset should be the same or close to the 99-04 stangs.


I also like the angle of the pic, i stood back 50 feet and used a 200mm lens, worked like a charm.

They do stick out a little, maybe a 1/4 inch if that. They look fine in the rear, but I wouldn't want this offset in the front. I really want some wider tires in the back that are taller than stock by about 1 inch, I think it will look mean as hell.

You know, I noticed a small photochop section on the left tire right at the inside edge of the fender but I didnt give it a second thought lol... I like the look of 295s but personally I want more.. unfortunately thats proving to be a bit harder than I thought.

O, well if they do, I blame it on my small/crappy monitor cause I cant see it! [8D] But yeah I want the same look you do, some massive fat meats in the back with the rear end looking slightly raised up. That sorta "hot-rod" look right?
