RE: how wide of tires
the guy that told me i could go with a 305 tire in the back said he had installed that wide on a few stangs with 10" wide rims in the back. i was looking at some used 20" rims after my wreck and for a 20x10 in the back, he said the biggest i could go would be a 305/35R20 and with 9"wide in the front he said he would go 255/40R20, but a 265 wouldn't be a problem. it was a friend of a friend so i don't know how well he knows his ****, but he's been a tire tech for 5 years and said he's installed those size tires on about 10 S197 stangs with no problems.

i had a tire tech tell me that the widest you want to run on a stang is 275 in the front and a 305 in the back. the most common is 255 front and 285 rear.

Or does it not matter how large the rim is?
