205/45ZR17 are not RECOMMEND for mustangs[:'(] those ****s are tiny and are for like 8" rim width

with a 10.5" rear, you can go up to 315's and the "suggested" size is 285 or 295

and technically they will "fit" but not really since the rim would buldge and the tire would be in the center, so no it doesnt.

well i wouldn't put those on your car because you may risk messing up your wheels and gl balancing it... 10.5" wheels width w/ like 8" width tires... doesn't work to well...

haha a 205 45 17 <<< belongs on a honda with like 7in. wide wheels maybe even six haha... 17X8's are 245 45 17... def. keep those tires off your stang. but good idea for some burnouts... if you want burnout tires i got some extra 245 45 laying around in my garage i would be willing to sell for cheap not much tread on them but enough to do some sick burnouts! oh and i have some at work too
