Default MUSTANG EXPERTS HELP PLEASE!!!

I need new tires because the ones I have are almost worn out....
My question is...what size tires can I get for the front and the back that will be best for me...I want to have bigger, wider tires in the back if possible...

I bought the car with these rims and tires on it...I believe its 245/45/17 all around....Please help...

Heres pictures of my car when I first got it (now its dropped so it looks much better)...

those are the 95 cobra r rims and i would say that you can fit a 275 on the rears. just stick with the same sidewall height

Those look to be Cobra R's 17 x 9. I'm guessing 9" by looking at the small amount of bulge on the sidewall. You can put a 275 tire on the back no problem while keeping the 245 size on the front for the look you want.One guy I know has a 295 on a 9" rim but it's rolled a bit. I've seen some brands of 285's look good but others that wear in the center too fast.

Plus.... you can also get a 315/35 nitto d/r if you want - thats what i have on my 17x9 rim... if you wanted drag radials, but those are really the only 315s im told that will fit on that rim... mine bulge a tiny bit, but not much - and have gotten a ton of compliments on em in the 6 wks ive had em... and they grip like a son of a gun, for being nittos, lol
