Default Back Tire Width

Hey guys i just purchased some centerline 15 inch rims and want to know how wide can i go with the back tires without any major problems. I'm planning on getting some BF Drag Radials so i want to go as wide as possible. Thanks

if your stang is a sn95, then 315 is the max!

17x11's with 315's is what I've got, but you have to remove the quads to prevent rubbing.

Put on steeda aluminum control arms (upper and lower) to eliminate the need for quads though.

I got 17" steeda Ultralites and have 285's. Had a set of 315's but they were low tread so i didnt use em. When i upgrade to drag radials ill go wider.
