find a set of used mustang wheels and tires on craigslist.org then find yourself a nice $400 cobra brake kit. You need 17" wheels to clear the cobra brake kit. Don't make me find a listing for you.

dammit... see what you got me doing:

match your left and right tires yes but matching same tires on front as rear is pointless...i have kdw's on the front and 315/35/17 KD on the rear feels like a really good set up so far

Sumi or Kuhmo makes really cheap, nice tires. I have used both. Check out Tire Rack.

I just recently got a set of Riken Raptors and they're really sticky sumbeyotches. For my 275/40/17's they were 110 each. Above any other tire I like Nitto 555 for mustangs.
