I personally run 255/40/17s up front (falken f451s though) and 275/40/17s rear, but I have 17x9 all around. You could pull off 315/40/17 or even higher with the 17x10.5 :-p

You can find the right size on Nitto's site under sizes and specs I got 315's rear on 10 1/2 and 275's on 9 1/2 front but I have Sumitomos on the front. Oh and I like those wheels. Black would look hot on an orange car. Black Bullits would also look good.

RE: what you all think bout these?
There pretty nice, but the 17x10.5 weigh 40lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats heavy! my 17x10.5 weight 28lbs. Your 17x9 weigh 37lbs. I got the specs from mustang tuning. they are in chrome which is heavier, so take off about 2-3lbs. for each. But thats alot!!! My 17x9 weigh 24lbs. I noticed a big difference in my breaking when I added 5lbs, up front. I couldnt imagine adding 15lbs. damn!!!

RE: what you all think bout these?
big performance loss in braking power thats for damn sure!! As for acceleration, I am not sure. I put my wheels and tires on when I installed a lighter clutch and lontube headers and mid-pipe. So I increased the horse power at the same time. But I really noticed the brakes suffering. Get some gunmetal cobra R's they are very light for the price, you cant beat it, $100 a wheel. They look awesome.
