They will fit on your car, but they are skinnier than your stock tires. If you have the 17" mustang wheels, they should be 245/45/17. So these tires aren't going to have as much contact patch. I run 265's on the front and 295's on the back. So you can see 215's are pretty thin for our cars.

I would run either your stock 245/45's or 255's. 275's will also fit.

Yeah, I run 275's all around, 215 is definately too skinny, it would make the car look kinda wimpy..lol
