[QUOTE="CalBoy101, post: 14421324, member: 154279"] I'd get bigger rims and go with 275/50/15's, they fit pretty well and will hook better for you. On some cars you may need to roll your fender lips but that's not a big deal and you probably won't need to. If you need to get 10,000 miles or so go with the Nitto nt555r's. The don't hook as good as MT's but they hook way better than any street tire. If you want more hook than that and can handle 3000 to 5000 miles (depending on how hard you use them) go with the Mickey Thompsons. Use 15 x 8" rims for the 275's, 5.5" backspacing is best but 4.5" or 5" will also work. If you have Bullitt style wheels and want to match their look, SummitRacing.com has 3 wheels in the right size with a Bullitt look: U.S. Wheel 701 Series Gunmetal Retro Wheels with Machined Lip 701-5812P 15 x 8 in., 5 in. Backspace, 5 x 4.5 in. Bolt Pattern, Aluminum, Silver $159. Scott Drake 1964-73 Mustang Anthracite Classic Wheels S1MS-1007-158 Mustang Aluminum, Matte Gray, 15 in. x 8.0 in., 4.50 in. Backspace, probably closet to Bullitt in appearance. American Racing Torq-Thrust D, Aluminum, Gray, 15 in. x 8 in., 4.50 in. Backspace (looks similar to above wheel) [/QUOTE]
