people have spread rumor of being able to fit a 275/50/15 on stock wheels... i think they are a little too narrow for that size tire. but a 235/60/15 will keep you to stock rolling diameter and also offers a WIDE variety of tires to choose from

255's should fit without any problems... 275's might require flipping or removing the quad shocks... but everyone should upgrade their lower control arms anyway.... so screw the quad shocks!

15" rims dont leave you with very many options in the tire size department.

The recommended sizes of tire for a mustang.... be it a fox or SN-95 are...
235/60/15
275/50/15
225/55/16
245/50/16
245/45/17
275/40/17
315/35/17
245/40/18
275/35/18
315/30/18
