Rim size doesn't matter.If these were pulled off of another Stang with the correct tires, they will be fine (except for the '65, '66, '74-'78, and '05+). You could put 25 inch rims on there if you want, as long as the tire has 0.3" worth of sidewall.

Here's a tire size calculator i posted the other day in another thread. Just put in the original tire/wheel info and the new tire/wheel info and it will tell you exactly what the speedometer will say versus actual speed.
