Yes but you have an earlier model mustang, probably with 16 inch wheels. I have an 03 with 17's. Does anybody have any pictures of the torque thrust wheels with 255's or 275's????

RE: Running on the edge
Here's a quick machup so you can see what kind of overlap you will really have. I wouldn't put 275's on my 8" rims for daily driving, but for track wheels wheer I will be running at a much lower psi vs. the street, I think they will work just fine.
I think they will look pretty slick

RE: Running on the edge
My rims are the same size as all stock 99+ GT rims. I have no problems whatsoever running with 275s in the rear.
In the front I wouldn't bother. There is a slight possiblity they will rub when you are turning, and I don't think it will make much difference up there anyway.
The only other problem I can see with running 275s is what I said about me running drag radials. I dunno if this makes any difference. I am running a pretty low tire pressure for a street car (20 PSI or thereabouts).
I am also running a 275/40 instead of a 245/45. I took the sidewall down the 5 to make up for the hieght difference.

You took it down? How about they don't make a 275/45, so you got the 275/40

In any case, the original poster is gonna get nittos anyways, so 275s are the right choice for him. I just dunno about a regular tire'd car?

Do you really think you are gonna have a problem with 275s on the back of a DD?? I honestly don't think that the D/Rs are making that much difference. I would think a regular tire at a regular pressure would fit???
