Tire sizes that will work based on Rim Size
16 Inch Rims
225/60R16
235/55R16
17 Inch Rims
225/55R17 Stock diameter
235/50R17 1.39% too small so its good, but not perfect
235/55R17 2.03% too tall. Help fill out wheel wells, increased chance of rubbing.
245/50R17 is the same diameter of the stock tire. Expensive, limited selection.
255/45R17 Shorter than stock, but still within 3%. A fair amount of sizes available, but not recommended for wheels 7.5 in wide or narrower. (Would probably go well on mustang 17x8 wheels)
18 Inch Rims
245/45R18 Stock diameter.
20 Inch Rims
22 Inch Rims
