Heck, back in the day*, you'd see people with your set up and they would actually LIFT the rear to give it that butt-in-the-air, slanted forward, ready to leap stance. Like I said, THAT'S muscle!!!

Thanks man. I'm 27, but I've never been a fan of the huge wheels/slammed body look. I've always preferred that classic muscle rake.

Bad *** stance on the car. Looks sweet. I'm old school muscle. Can't stand 20" + dubs on anything and 18's are pushin it. Too much wheel just looks goofier than hell. Just because they can make em doesn't make em look good. It's all about proportion.

Wheels and tires are such a tough call! I've been waiting for something to leap out at me for like the past year or so. I'm so on the fence about going with a larger wheel or not. Now you post this and make the decision even more difficult....Thanks! Looks good!

Looks great. I think i may do this as well some time. Best part is it makes your brakes look huge, my 18" saleens make them look tiny. I haven't upgraded them because i plan on getting some racestars eventually and they won't clear larger brakes.

Looks great! Unlike most people, you went from 18 to 17 to 15 as far as I remember.

Looks great. I would love to see some pics in action at the track. FWIW I've had those M/T's on a couple different cars that I drove almost everyday during the summer and they do great. You don't want to get caught in a downpour, but even if you do it's easy enough to baby them home and still be safe. They are great tires.

Your car looks fantastic! Very mean stance.

As for low profile tires and lowering the car's, some people prefer handling in their mustangs as well as power. No crime in that. Largest tire size I'd go though is 18".
