    19s! 275/40/r19. Don’t want to go lower cause I still need her for them Home Depot runs !

    Last weekend I hauled 720lbs of pavers and got a small cut on my tire from the fender when hitting a bump. Can’t imagine loading anything other than my kids toys if any lower!

    Nah the hub bore is 70mm on the mustang wheels I believe. Fits fine bolted right up. Cleared all the way around.

    Didn’t run any spacer or anything. They fit on without any issue.

    Definitely takes a little more to get up and go and slow down too. After I finish doing suspension that needs to be done like rear shocks I’m gonna get a header and do a custom exhaust
