I vote for Chrome, but a picture of your stang would help more like said above.

you got the rear size right, but the front tires should be 275/40/17. the 245s will be stretched on a 17x9 inch rim. 275s are the stock tire size from the factory.

^I concur! I have 8.5" rims and the 255/40-18's look stock.
