Ok so i think i have made up my mind on the boss wheels pictured above, my next question is tire size. I was thinking of doing a square 275/25/19 setup. The wheels are 19x9 with a +42 mm offset and 6.7" backspace. Will these tires fit in the fenders w/o rubbing? Would it be better to buy the staggered wheels 19x9 and 19x10 and go with like 255 in the front and 275 or 285 in the back? Also, i am going to want to paint the calipers when i do this, what color do you think would look best: black, silver, red, or buy the paint to match DIB paint??

Definitely red paint. It just stands out the most on any car. I think if you put the ford racing caps on or the tribar pony caps on it'll tie in the red. Yellow/gold calipers would also be really cool but might be too much going on.

My only concern with going red paint on the calipers is this: I don't want to pose as having something i don't (Brembo brakes)

Brembos come in all colors depending on the type of car...I wouldn't worry about it if you painted them red. Now I wouldn't put brembo stickers on them

Hey I don't see a problem with painting them. I'm not one for brake covers or putting "brembo" on your non brembo brakes

Painting has nothing to do with brembo brakes. I have brembo brakes and I ended painting them because the matte grey looks awful

Ok so I've decided I will paint my calipers red and buy some boss 302 wheels. Which will be better staggered 19X9 & 19X10 with 285 and 255 tires or a square set up with 275s on 19x9's?

Staggered will give you a better stance and look and of course more traction but you cant rotate the tires. If you have the money reserved to shell out for new tires every once in a while then do that.
If youre just lookin for a sweet cruiser for daily driving i think the squared set-up will be better. In the long run at least

I think your car would look best with the stock 2013 SVT GT500 wheels.

I'm selling them for half price with 2 sets of tires! PM me if interested.
