The fronts are no problem, I have the same setup with a Shelby drop. Can't help you with the rears since my rears are also 15 X 7, so I have 255/60/15.

235's rubbed on my car. But I have Global west tubular upper A arms. I have 215/65/15 now. I use the same size rims.

[Phils69 27]

Thanks for the response guys. The fronts would be .4" wider per side than I am running now. I'll try to get a measurement to see if the a arms will clear. I'm really hoping the rears will clear without rolling the fenders. I have 5 leaf springs so it does sit pretty high. Probaly gonna go ahead and pull the trigger and order them from Summit this weekend.

Unless your car sits really high in the back, you'll have to roll your fender lips to get 275's to fit.

I have a 235/60/14 on it now and it has 3.5" from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender lip. The 275/60/15 shows an increase of 1.5" per side so I'm hoping it will fit. This is no weight on the car though. Those 5 leafs has it sitting pretty high. If I have to roll them it would be no biggie as I have not had the body/paint work done yet. I'm hoping the .785" width difference per side won't be a interference problem.

I'm taking the plunge. Just ordered them from Summit. $1185 to the door mounted and balanced. Can't beat the price. I'll post how they fit when I put them on.

Not much to contribute other than to say your choice of the Magnum / BFG combo is the best looking on these cars, IMHO

Cheers,

FYYi Got em in and put on. Looks and fits great. No rubbing issues anywhere. The rears have plenty of clearance and the stance is just what I wanted.

[Phils69 27]

Just did a quick road trip. They still break loose easy but not as much as the 14's did. Good ride feel also.

What seems to be the best wheel tire combo for a stock suspension set up?

[Phils69 27]

Im waiting on my center caps so I'll try and post some pics this weekend. My suspension is stock style with opentracker stuff up front and 5 leaf in the rear. I'm partial to the magnums for rims as the black inlay matches my black interior and hood. The wide sidewall tires fill the wheel well nicely on the size I got.

They look great! Magnums make any Mustang look good.

Looks great Phil, hard to beat Magnums. What are your plans for paint?

[Phils69 27]

As you can tell that is the original paint. I'm gonna go back with original white Mach 1 scheme i guess although i love red on these cars. I started on the mechanical side of the resto and have finished that with the latest barrage of additions. The Randall's rack steering and front disc brakes I'd say have been the best additions for creature comfort. I'm about 75% done with the interior. Still have the door panels to do and need to refurb the steering wheel or get a new one. I am hoping to have the paint and body done by next summer but have to see how the $ goes. I'm a machinist and CNC programmer by trade so I feel comfortable with anything mechanical but I'm working 70 hours a week right now and will have to sub out the paint and body.

Looks great. Love the look!
