Default Tire and Wheel Size for Mustang

Dear all,

I'm new to this forum and i was not successful in my search. I'm sure that someone already posted relevant information but i would appreciate if you could share with your knowledge. I just purchased a 2005 V6 Mustang and want to make it stand out from the crowd. Of course, i want to start with wheels and tires. I want to know about the combinations of wheels and tires i could fit on my Mustang.
Let's take 20 inch wheels. I know that you can fit 255/35/R20 in front and in the back there. But after i saw them installed on a GT Mustang it looked like you could probbaly fit 255/45/R20 on the back as well, because there was quite some space between the tires and the arch! It looked like 255/35/R20 was the biggest you could put on the front, but please tell me if you can actully fit 255/45/R20 on the back! Or any othe combinations with 20'' rims.
Thank you for your feedback!!

Dimitri

Welcome aboard... Do you want to keep the same size wheels & tires on all 4 corners?

Thanks! Yeah, i want to keep the same size. Looking at 20'', like i mentioned before. I just would like to have thicker tire on the back than on the front. i also saw you can fit 285/30/R20 on the back. I'm just little worried that with such low profile you can destroy the rim and the tire pretty quickly. I'll be driving it in Russia, that's why i care about the road ))
