Tire size

So what would you recommend for tires for front 17x7 wheels and 17x8 rear with stock suspension so the tires use up most all the wheel opening without hitting?

To start with, you need to say what car and what year.

You would most likely get more response and insight from participants on the Vintage Mustang Forum given that they are focused more on modifications to regular Mustang and the restomod culture.

I can't say exactly because it depends on the wheel and the width of the rear housing.

I also do not know if the dimensions vary from the convertible to the fastback?

On my '68 GT350 fastback, a 235-60-15 will fit with no issue in the front on a Shelby 15" ten spoke wheel.

On the rear a 275-60-15 will fit but may need you to roll the fender lip? That would be with a stock Mustang rear and a Shelby 15" 10 spoke.


On the rear, you can gain 2" total clearance (1" each side) if you use a Lincoln /Versalles rear and then you can fit a 295-50-15. The Lincoln is a 9" pumpkin, 2" narrower then the Mustnag pumpkin, flange to flange but the mounting points of the springs are the same.


How the wheel offsets change things and the variations in tire dimensions vary with wheel od size, I simply don't know and likely you won't know either until you screw around with various combinations.

I'd leave what's on there or go back to stock with correct 67 steel styled wheels.
