I finally got them in and on the car. I went with the tire package that a lot of people have mentioned. 245/45 on the front and 275/40's on the rear. Let me save some people the grief that I encounterd. The 245/45 is just too small for a 9" wide wheel. Oh yes they will mount up but it looks like a pimp mobile from the 80's. you know the type where the guys would run wire wheels wide and the tires to narrow and the they would bow out to bead up. The 275/40 is perfect. I will be getting 2 more as money permits. I dont know if you could run a wider tire on the rear such as a 315/35 to give it that meaty look but I would do that before I did the 245 on the front again. 275.40's all the way around is the best way to go IMO. Now to get my 4x4 of a car lowered:D

I put the chrome wheels on my mach about a week ago. I went with 17x9s on the front and 17x10.5s on the back.

I kept the stock tires on the front (the 245s). They seemed to fit fine to me but it is probably completely personal preference.

However, I went with 315s Nitto Drag Radials on the back and I absolutly love them. Simply can't beat that muscle car look with the fat tires on the back. Looks great :)
