...Those tires look big on those wheels!! ....I'd go with a 17x9" & 17x10.5" with a 275 tire up front & a 315 out back...OR you could step up to 18" as well!!

Don't go wider than a 245 on those stock rims...

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions everyone!

I was going to ask what the widest tire the stock rims can handle but MFJ already answered. Thank you!

You CAN stick a 275 tire on there, but it will have some overlap, BUT you mentioned that you wanted to do autocross, so I would NEVER recommend putting a tire on there, that's wider than your rim is if you are interested in autox

I got pulled over today. The officer asked me if I knew why he pulled me over? I honestly had no clue... it was because I didn't have my front plate on.

I told him that's how the car came and it has no holes drilled. Lol it was entertaining actually. After I said that he goes, I have one of these and you can make a bracket. He didn't seem to want to chat so I didn't find out what he had exactly.

He let me off with a warning but I guess I'll have to order some drill-less brackets to keep in the back seat. Thanks for putting up a link Timspony!

Oh and on another note, I removed the Hurst Equipped symbol on the back because well it is now Steeda. Anyone know the size of the factory ford symbol? Now I've got two holes where that used to be.

Oh if anyone wants a Hurst short shifter, send me a pm! I'll put it up in the for sale section one of these days.
