Andrew

Im not even going to start.

as for the rims if they are an 01-04 then they got 16 " rims which you can fit 255/50r16s on, if its a 99-00 then its got 15" rims and 205/65r15s, either way i would say upgrade to some GT rims with 275/35zr17s rear and 255/45zr17s front.

In regards to its a v6 mustang comment. When people start laughing at you cause u paid all that extra for a v8 and loss to a little v6, i am going to be there to rub it in ur face. lol
