Question New 2007 Mustang GT Owner & Tire Questions

Ok folks,
Great help with my last list of questions THANK YOU !

Now I need the best tire size recommendations for Front and Rear.

I seen a few picks of 275/40/17 on rides with the rear exhaust missing. Is the exhaust relocation/removal necessary to accomedate a larger rear tire?

Keep in mind I just ordered but have not yet installed a ford racing spring lowering kit.

Thanks in advance,

Fred

depending on how big you go it shouldnt be a problem.... how big did you go? what are the dimensions of your rims?

i have 315/35/17s on my cobra and i had a few problems with hitting the tailpipes but i just had them rebent it wasnt too big an issue.

if you went with 275's you will be ok though

I was thinking the 275 range with some 18" rims or even up to 20". Will the 275's fit on my stock 17" rims?
