18's hands down. They look so much better than 17's. I have 18x10.5 rears and 18x9 fronts and they are perfect. Go for the 18's. So worth it.

^^^ Sweet car I love the staggered setup. OP you'll be drooling over your car if you throw some 18X9's in the front 18X10's in the back. AM has one of the best wheel and tire selections around, and they have tons of customer pics which definently helps out alot haha good luck with your choice! Prepare to fall in love with your stang all over again, wheels are my favorite appearence mod hands down!

i have stock front bullitt wheels with AM 17x10.5 in the rear. and i think you'll want 315/35ZR17, not 315/40ZR17. something to think about also is that tires are easier to match with the 17". with the 18" tire, the front tires will never be 100% the same as the rear tires. a 315/35ZR17 tire is exactly the same hight as a 245/45ZR17 tire.

this is the only pic of my car with the rims that i have. yes, i know that they're dirty. i had just put new brakes on the car. the purpose of the pic was to showcase the hood/bumper/chin spoiler combo
