'05 mustang tire size - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I went to the Houston Auto show while attending the national tour.
One thing I wanted to comment on was the '05 mustang. I must say, it looked really cool. I was even contemplating getting one in the future. That is until I looked at the tire sizes. 205/17 and 235/17 on the show car. Yes, I know its not a production version but those are some narrow sized donuts. It didn't look like the sn95 cars either where there appears to be enough room to upsize the width. These tires were pretty close to flush with the top fender lip.
hmmmmmm......

oh! the C6 was, shall we say, underwhelming.
