Mustang wheels are too heavy....

245 wide and 275 wide are not wide enough for a 9" and 10" wheel. You should be looking at like 265-275 and 295-305 for those wheels.

^well according to tirerack the stock machs are 26lbs. each the 18in FRs are about 28 each. The lightest mustang wheels are the 17in 10th anni. svt wheels and they are 23lbs each, everything else below are look more for imports than domestic cars and over $200 a rim. About the tire size, those are the tires that the website has a options and i'm not a fan of wide wheels, like 285+, especially anything over 300.

I am just not a fan of going 18" unless its a lighter forged wheel but that gets expensive.

You can fit those tire sizes on those wheels, but it is going to look very rather stretched. A stock Mach wheel is 8" wide and comes with a 245. Stretch that over another inch and it will look awkward. Same with the 275.
