225*.55 = 123.75 mm (profile)... 25.75" total height 25.75 / 26.49 = .972 Your new tires will actually be LOWER profile than the old ones, meaning a lower overall height. Because of this, your speedometer will actually read slightly higher than your actual speed. So, if your speedo is reading 60mph: 60*.972 = 58.3 mph So, that's the change there, and you'll certainly be good height-wise. Width-wise, you SHOULD be fine, considering that stock '03-'04 Cobras came w/ 275-width tires all around. One problem I could see, though, is if your new wheels have some strange offset. Are these factory Mustang wheels? If not, what are they, and what is the offset/backspacing?

245*.45 = 110.25 mm = 4.34 in * 2 +17" = 25.68" 245*.50 = 122.5 mm = 4.82 in *2 + 16" = 25.65" Almost EXACTLY the same height-wise, and while there MAY be some rubbing at full lock, it shouldn't be a big problem, considering they came stock on GT's.
