RE: 225/70/15 how much will i be off on the speedo?
honestly best way to check speed is either a) find a school zone, in my area they have those radar things that tell you how fast ur gonna hit a kid or b) lock your car in at 70 and pass a cop, he'll be bound to tell you what you were doing....as far as the raked look goes it does look nice, i had simmiliar set up on my 16's, now ive got ****ty tires, there almost low pro's so there wide but i think u need a tall tire to fill the wheel wells for the old school look
personally not a bid fan of 19's or 20's on a mustang, 15's and 16's with a **** load of rubber

they would go on the back so they would look fine, give the car a raked look, i know how they look i had them on my 93 for a while, it gives it a sweet stance, but the 93 had a diff speedo gear. my tires are 100 each i cant afford one right now and if im going brand new i want a wider tire in the back with stock height, any suggestions, real wide is nice, but cost has to be considered

i'd love to know how/why your 15" tires will cost $100 each, when my 315/35/17 tires cost $110 each

will a 275 fit on a stock rim?
i thought the 255/50 were the biggest that would fit on a stock rim
