It's called "good taste" . . .

Which reminds me. . . I saw a 90's era Buick with 22's on it yesterday. Stupid "grandmas" car with chrome 22's that were probably worth more than the car.

255 and 285 are the width of the tires, the GT500 came with 9.5" wide wheels with 255/45/18 up front and 285/40/18 out back.

Those rims are only 8" wide looks like...you won't be able to fit much more than that 245 tire I dont think

Gen2 Lightnings come stock with 295/45/18's on 9.5" wheels. FYI

I was just using the GT500 sizes as an example of a pretty typical mustang tire setup, I wasn't implying thats the maximum you can use. I was saying that you wont be able to fit a very wide tire on the 8" wheels he was looking at though

Best choice so far haha. I'd get the 20x9/20x10 package and those Nitto Redline tires. Would really compliment your Red Candy IMO.

I recommend 275 summer performance tires on a 9.5" wide wheel at all four corners. I'm just not a fan of the staggered set-up...can you tell I am an oval racer and not a drag racer? (Although, I've done and enjoyed both.) The added bonus of being able to rotate tires should not be overlooked. Keep the stock wheels for the DC winters.

You could take your stock rims and install a set of good winter tires on them. That way when the snow comes and ole Betsy fails to start you can still get to where you need to go.
