I think it would look hot. Throw some clear head lights and lower it a bit........... Would look sweet .

yeah if they only had the red stripe on the edge like the black ones they would match perfectly with my belt line strip

oh well ill have to see what rubber i want to wrap em with i was thinking yokohama avs es100's had em on a car once before and they were grippy. just have to see what size i can run and if they make em in that size.

wheels are 17x9 with a 5.78" backspace(+20mm offset) so 245/50 or 40 up front and maybe i could squeeze a 275/40 in the rear?

The only problem you will have is not being able to rotate your tires. You will also have to dump your quad shocks if you haven't done so already. The 245's are up front as this is the widest tire you can run without severe clearence issues. Depending on the year of your Mustang, you may have to install one or two pair of steering rack limiter bushing.
