width, my dad (martimus88) wants the widest possible tires on the rear end of his mustang and wanted me to find out what that would be.

As far as I understand a 315 should be fine, although putting it on the stock wheel is not a good idea. I've heard of people putting them on 9in wheels, but I'd say a 9 1/2 or 10in wheel is the safest bet on that size tire.

Also It depends on the exhaust. I know some people have some rubbing issues with a 315 on mac exhaust but others dont.

he has the stock exhuast on it and doesnt plan on changing it out so it will not be a problem either.

I think it also depends on how thick the tire is and if it is droped.
