Cool. No problem.

No rubbing issues. I have the D-Specs, and I do run them just 1 from full hard in the rear, but that's more for my piece of mind. I don't think they would rub even if I bottomed out. I think they were just barely tuck. When you get wheels that close to the edge, though, it's very important to have your rear end centered properly. The difference without centering is very noticeable, and one side will stick out (and make contact if you bottom out) if you're not centered.

You could probably go with some 315's in the rear on those rims. Weight, weight, weight with 20's. That's why I'm afraid of going over 275's rear. Considering some forged 19's.

How do you make sure it's centered? Should it be centered from the factor or do I need to take some measurements?

Good to hear they shouldn't stick out. I don't want to look like a *** with my tires outside the fender walls. Looks good on trucks and some vehicles. But, not all. But, that is just my opinion. I also don't like 20's on a mustang.

Those sizes will work, but 20s are just ridiculous (I have an invincible flame suit on ) Some 20s I do like, but gah the majority just look dumb and to showy for me JMHO. 18s are a good choice and look great...especially the wheels you've chosen

Why would you be worried about looking like a cigarette?
Are the stones and dirt just thrown up on
the sides of the stang with them sticking out so much?
Let see some pics of a dirty stang with those rims.

The rear end should be centered from the factory, but if you lower your car, it will not be centered and an adjustable panhard bar is needed to correct this. When your wheels come so close to the edge of the fender wells, it makes it a lot more obvious when it is off center.

Darkfire your car is lowered isn't it? I was considering the exact same setup in the rear but with no intention of lowering the car I'm wondering if it will look like crap.

Are the any problems with these tire sizes on a daily driver?
