I have no plans to lower, only add aftermarket sway-bars.
I didn't weigh the new ones. After 3 hours at Discount Tire, I just wanted them put on, so I could go drive it.

That 19x10.5 will work best with a 305/35/19 tire

Demonic, here are the basics, there are two main things here that need to work together:
1) wheels -- need to fit correctly (bolt pattern, center bore) and have the right "offset" which positions the wheel inward/outward in the wheel well. More offset moves the wheel inward. Wider wheels need more offset to keep the wheel centered and not stick out of the fender. If you buy wheels from a company that knows what they are doing with Mustangs, and says they will fit your car, you can usually trust that information. If you buy wheels that are not specifically sold for Mustangs then you need to know all the details to make sure they will fit correctly.
2) tires -- the tires need to fit the wheels; and also be about the right overall diameter for the car, meaning about the same as the original tires. To find out if the tires fit the wheels, look the tires up on Tire Rack; check the "specs" tab; and look for the recommended wheel width. The width of the wheels needs to be inside the range for the tires; if the wheels are below the bottom of the range then you need narrower tires and vice versa. Also in the "specs" you can see the diameter of the tires; and this should be close to the original 27.2" diameter.
If you don't understand how the tire sizes work -- like what all the numbers in 275/40-19 mean -- you can google it or find one of the on-line calculators; that will explain it better/quick than I can.

I talked to a person from America muscle and they told me that I can run either a 305 or 295 tire on those 10.5 rims there shouldn't be no problem with fitment and I can either run 20s or 19s so I'm thinking about a 295/35/r20
