Default Wheel and Tire fitment

I need some help from the experts! I am trying to go the cheap route to get some wheels, so I wanted to know if there was any fitment issues with these wheel/tires from Craigslist:

http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/pts/2503341200.html

The bolt pattern and offset are ok, but what about the tire sizes?

fronts are 245/30/20 and rears are 285/25/20

Any rubbing issues? I know they are very low profile, so I assume the ride will be alittle rougher than the stock 235/55/17 that are on it now?

Thanks for your help.

Never mind that the link has been pulled . . . those tire sizes are several sizes too small for the weight of these Mustangs.

Not to mention being about an inch and a half shorter than the OE tire sizes they'll make your fender gap noticeably larger.

People on 20's seem to mostly be running 255/35 up front.

Thanks Norm. I decided to go the right route and get a setup from American Muscle that was meant for my car.
