greetings all. i have a 1985 mercury capri rs 5.0. (same as 1986 ford mustang except for bubble windshield) currently under surgery and when finished is projected to be around 440 to 460hp. rear end rebuild with 4:0 gear. what size tires and type tires are good for the front and rear? i may take it to the strip now and then but it will be mostly pulled out on the weekends for a little cruising and dusting a few challengers. i will have pics soon but can someone help me with tires. i got some advice to go with nothing smaller than 245 with that much power. for those familiar with this year and type car...please help.

what size rim are u wanting to put on?

i'm not sure. right now i have 16's w/ 225/60. since i can't put a fatter tire on this rim i basically would like to know what size would look nice but also fit without rubbing, looking bad, etc. i'd go with a bigger size rim if it will work. i'm new to the game so i need help. this is my first muscle car
