So I'm not dead set on those sizes but not sure if the standard packages that are offered by american muscle 275/35/18 on front will fit.

I got my set of FR500s from AM in 18x9 275/35 front and 18x10 285/35 rear and can tell you that on my 03 Mach they fit PERFECTLY. They do not stick out past the fenders and no rolling of the fender is required. I can turn full lock to both directions and there is no rubbing in the front.

My car is lowered about 1.5" in front and 1" in rear. I used Steeda's stage 1 G-Trac suspenion kit.

Ha, no I'm good. I daily the car and these roads are pretty unforgiving. I already have noticed my rear cats have dents and scrapes. Having to creep over speed bumps is already a pain. I'll leave the height alone I think. How far is yours lowered? I bet it looks nice.

I have the H&R ss springs in front and the race springs in the back. I love the drop. I think it's a 2in in front and 1.5 or 1.75in in the back. Ca roads are atrocious due to our earthquakes ******* them up but I get by just fine

I never measured my drop. Steeda says they'll do approx 1.5in front and 1in rear. I need to post pics but I don't have any really nice ones. I'll make an album soon and pm you.

Ok I made an album real quick, but I'm not one of the cool kids that can post links so you'll have to visit my page if you want to check them out. Sorry.

TXMach knows what's right! The wheels/tire packages we offer will certainly fit your lowered Mustang. They also sit flush with the fenders with, with no need for modification. I think we have exactly the look you're looking for!

Let me know if you have more questions!
