Or would the optimal size be like a 255/45 ? Thanks guys. __________________ DRIVE A HYBRID MY MUSTANG NEEDS YOUR GAS 4V Swap loveliness Fresh Paint

I have 265's on my fronts (9") and wish i would have got 275s. __________________ 2003 Azure Blue Mach 1 - KB, Suspension, Bolt-ons. 497hp, 460tq.

I wouldn't go that big on the front, I have rubbed mine a couple times.
