i recommend a 17X8 with a 4.75 BS on the rear, that will allow a 255 tire without any issues or up to 275 with some minor clearancing. On the front a 17X7 with 4.5 BS

try this website, I used it to do my tire fitment on my car http://www.dodgestang.com/mustang.htm

but im running MB wheels on the Discount tire website that are 17 x 8 in front and 17 x 9.5 in rear with both of them being 4.5" backspacing, also if you call Discount tire they will actually have an operator that can talk to you and let you know what fits as well

could I run 17x8 on front and rear with 235 or 245'?

 

[Scrasauge]

yes i believe the front tires that i am running are 235s but ill check tomorrow morning when i get home from work to verify

 

[Scrasauge]

Yes I'm running 235/45 up front and 265/40 out back

Said it before, I'll say it again, NO 17's on 65-6 cars. They do not belong.
