I started out with 17x9 FR500s in front and 17x10.5 in back, but ended up getting 18x10s for the rear. I like how it looks better that way:

if those are the ones that are on the stock mustang gt's and mach 1's then i am not sure that they really grip like crazy...actually they are bad tires as well...lol my friend has been through 2 sets on his 02 stang with only 26k miles...and they are no good in the rain...and really not on dry either

my friend with an 01 gt has them as well and he gets no traction...
