Looks great! Love the wheel and tire size. I'm a fan of the ol school "hijacker" look, and would not change the stance.....
Great job,
Mike

I ask because I'm interested in a similer tire setup
also with 255 wide front is there any issue with sharp turns

No problems with the TCS that I have noticed yet but the speedo is off by about 2mph. I'm going to fix that as soon as I figure out how to do it with my SCT x-calII. I think I have to reload the custom tune and then change the perameters. I tried just going into the menu but it didn't give and options for changes. Also I will probably be going with the Eibach Pro-kit springs to drop it a little. It needs it bad..

any problem with TCS with the 1.5 inch diff in tire size

None at all, I am very happy with this tire set up. They actually feel better than the stock set up.

Looks good, Id drop it but keep the same stance. Looks sweet with the rear a tad higher than the front. Love the big meaty tires... I see too many Stangs with tiny little rubbers... which is great if its a show car I guess.. but nothing is a meaner than a fat set of meats.

RE: New pics of my stang...
Ya know I keep seeing suggestions by some folks to "lower it." Why? I feel the car is low enough. I mean, geez, don't ya worry about speed bumps or driving up a steep hill and scraping the chin?
I guess I grew upadmiring the hijacker muscle cars from yesteryear. To me, to lower it, makes me think of "car jumping."

Wow, looks very nice. Those are some fatty-bobatty tires out back!
Have you thought about just going with the Roush rear springs to lower the rear, and keep the front stock height? I think that might look pretty good on your car.
