I have the exact same rims, I went from Chrome to Powdered Coated Gloss Black. I love the rims a lot, but I'd rather go with Deep Dish in the rear and standard in front. I'm actually ready for new rims. I have found these exact rims all over and cheaper then American Muscle, even with the Discount.

Here are a few of mine.

I'm prett sure they will fit on your Mustang just fine, I haven't lowered, raised or done anything to my car.

Edit: I believe my tire does rub if it turns to sharp, but it's only one side I believe. The other side of my car doesn't have a Fenderwell protection or whatever it's called.

Yeah my paint is cheaping, it's been hit or something happened and they re-painted it them self in certain places. Which the paint they used I believe was house paint, isn't the best paint and chips off. The fender was mixed colors, I painted it my self to make it look better. haha I just don't have the time or money to paint it. I got to hooked up on my Motorcycle, because I'm going to be painting that. haha
As long as my car drives and I can still race that's all I care. The only thing that sucks is NO ONE that I went to can match the color, I've tried almost every where. My friend might be able to match it, but he does show car profesional paint and I'm not paying for that is my car is abused, in the rain, pretty much would be a waste of money.

I don't know much about tires that well, but I don't think they will fit because they're 16's and the rims your getting are 17's. When I bought my car, the rims were chrome and chipping as well, haha. He also gave me the old rims, tires, shifter and old head lights. I got mine for how good of a price it was and much more.

Mine are
245/45ZR17 99W

I'm trying to find the link that will measure tires or whatever it is. haha

the 16" tires will not mount around the 17" rims at all, wrong diameter

Yeah I'm going to go Black, just because I like to blend in at night. I like the color of my car because it fades colors at night and day, but I get pulled over to much. I do want a Metalic Gloss Black and Metali Gloss Blood Red, so from certain angles it changes. That one guys Mustang from Germany or whatever, has a really nice color, the Dark Gray you were saying.

If the tires are brand new and not even used you should be able to return them and get the right size, might have to pay a little more, but hey. If you can't do that then try selling them or trading.

It shouldn't matter if you have had them for 2 weeks now, it's if you've been using them or not?
