nice car. What size tire is that in the rear? and are those 17x9 or 17x8?

17X8 in the front and 17X9 in the rear. i only put the 255 40 r17 in the back but there is enough room for either 265's or maybe 275's

it all depends on what your doing. i did a lot of research and measuring before i did anything. with the sn95 spindles you just order wheels for a 94-04 mustang. if you use the ranger axle/drum conversion with the stock track width you can also use the 94-04 mustang wheels on the back. but if you go the route i did with the 96 axles, rotors and calipers which are .75" longer per side then you order rear wheels for an 05 and up mustang (they have more backspace) and just to let you know they will think your a little crazy for ordering wheels for two different years but you can see by my pics that it works.
