275, still looks good. I wonder what 295s would look like now.

My opinion is that the widest you should go on a 9 inch rim is a 275/40.
I have only seen 1 pic of a car with a 295 and the tire did bulge plus it threw off the speedo a fair bit. A 275 is different in diameter from a stock 245/45 by only .08% while the 295 is off something over 2% I believe.

The widest you can usually go in the rear on these new edge mustang is 315/35 on a 10.5 inch rim.

Here is a pic of my 04 that I sold.
275/40 on the front on a 9 inch rim.
315/35 on the rear on a 10.5 inch rim.

I added a front shot so you can see how wide a 275 is on the front.
