!7" on SS
Been kicking this around in my head for awhile.
I saw a car today with the wheels I like on a Mustang.

I know going to a taller side wall will make the car more comfy and getting a tire that can handle somewhat like an 18".
Would like some input from members here, pro's or con's.

That link brings up 18 inch rims so , you’d run the stock size tires. Don’t go over 26.2 inches diameter, or you risk rubbing the shock towers spring plates

Blue that was just showing the wheel I would like to use.
I know how to correct tire height vs rim(wheel) size.

Input ?
Without stating which front brakes you have it would be hard to say.
If you have Brembos, 17's may or may not clear the calipers. If you have the basic SS front brakes then they should have plenty of clearance.

OK just to clarify to everybody.
Want pro's and con's on installing 17" wheels/tires.
I have standard brake calipers on my SS.
Sorry I posted the wrong size wheel for my discussion.
Sorry I didn't clarify the calipers that are on my car.
P.S. I know Brembo's won't work with a 17" rim.

We’re here to help you, for that we need information, so we are either going to ask questions, or take the information you posted and process it.
It’s not an exercise in getting you upset.
And actually another member just posted a week or two ago he runs 17 inch rims on his SS with Brembo brakes!
I believe with spacers

Also I've posted threads and comments on here that I would think members would know my background.
This was a simple question about my thoughts.
Let's go no further and end this thread.
Thank you
