Hello everyone,
As requested here is the chart that appears in Octobers issue of
Mustangs & Fords. According to them these are the tire/wheel combos that
give "optimum results"(page 62) In addition I included the previous post
of 67-70 Mustang combos for archive reasons. Although this is in the
magazine im sure this will be helpful too many people. Good luck with
your Mustangs!
