I know that our cars on a 275-15 function just fine and manage sub 8 secound passes. But with my struggle to be different in the mustang world so to speak i came across a set of 345-40-17 Toyo Proxes Tq Drag Radials for a price i couldn't pass up so i got to work trying to stuff these under the car.Specs on the tires: 345/40R17 Suggested wheel width11.5-12.0-13.5  (I USED A 10.5")Weight 36.6lbsHeight 27.7" Width 13.7"Some inner wheel well massaging with a Big F 'in Hammer (BFH) to all the sharp/rough edges was needed as well as quad shock removal on SRA cars. As far as the outer fender lip it needs to be rolled or hit with a (BFH) so you have enough clearance, if you don't roll the outer lip it will hit and it will cut the tire. In short thats all you need to do to squeeze a 345-40-17 under the rear of your mustang.My car (97 Cobra with 04 IRS H&R RACE SPRINGS) -They rub on the outside due to the wider rear but atleast they don't cut the tire.Roller and outside lip from inside the wheel well.<img src="http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/1360/roller.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/1939/insidefender.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/5909/54667536078183729990710.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/7420/53530236077838063358610.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Friends car (00 GT with stock length rear H&R SUPER SPORT SPRINGS)<img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4237/345blk3.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/7025/345blk4.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9936/345blk5.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/3673/345blk2.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/6549/345blk1.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
