Default Getting these wheels for my 1989 Mustang GT

First off, I know owning an 89 that I am going to have clearance issues if I don't buy the right size tires. We particularly have this issue in the front. So I found this set up on line...17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the rear.

eBay Motors: Mustang SC Wheels 17x8 & 17x9 fits Saleen, Cobra 4 lug (item 120347078567 end time Dec-11-08 15:10:31 PST)


Now I just need to find the right tire set up. What do you guys KNOW will work? I was thinking 235/45/17 in the front and 255/45/17 in the rear. I was also playing with the idea of 245's in the front, but I wasn't too sure.

Thanks for the help.

I don't know about the tire sizes but the rims defiantly do look cool. Kinda like anthracite to me
