currently i have 17 inch 95 cobra r wheels. the rear are 17x10.5 with 315/35/17 nitto 555. the front are 17x9 with 245/45/17 tires. i am debating on going with a 15 inch big and little set up. my plans would be 275/50/15 nitto 555r, and 165/85/15 tires. the wheels would most likely be jeg sport stars. i love the way the 315s look out back but i think the car might look better with the big and littles at other angles. the car has upper and lower control arms, eibach drag springs, 3.73 gears, cai, gt40p heads, edelbrock performer 5.0 intake manifold, mac long tubes, mac o/r h pipe, mac cat back, e cam, and some other random junk. the car is mainly a street car. i know the handling will suck but i have the other mustang gt and a sportbike for that.

I think keep the wheels you have on it, but it sounds like you really want the 15s. Do what you want :p

I always wanted bigs and littles till I had them, cornering sucks, had to change studs for the spacers needed on the front to clear calipers, ABS light on solid everytime you drive and DR's which are dangerous to drive in any moisture at all

Great for track, crap for all around use

Do the big and littles. I love mine. The steering feels much more responsive since they're so much lighter. I have no problems cornering, as long as you stay under the speed limit around a turn you'll be fine. They will look much more aggressive. I'd go with a 275/60/15 Nitto in the rear
