    weird tire question

    now that my Mustang isn't a 20,000+ mile a year daily driver, I thought I'd go ahead and get 17x10.5s for the rear...since I have nearly new BFG Super Sport A/S on the front so I was thinking of getting BFG 315/35x17 drag radials for the rear to keep the look and relative size of the tires...

    so I have enough miles to have driven to the moon :D in the interest of full disclosure, I replaced the engine with a new Romeo at 205,000 miles and rebuilt the rear (to install the 3:73s) at about 180,000, but really nothing else besides wear stuff <knock wood>

    coupe rear seats in a convertible?

    I'm pretty sure I've seen some folks here that have done it and I was wonder if there is anything unexpected I'll need to deal with? I just got a set of Mach 1 seats for my convertible and I'd really like to be able to use rear seat too
