Those are 295/35/17 Hoosier A6 autocross tires all the way around.  Required a "little" fender rolling though.  On 17x9 mustang anniversary 4 lug wheels with a 1/4" spacer.

Those are big. I thought the 255-40-17's on the front and 285-40's out back were big. Did it take anything other than spacers to fit them in the back?

Your car looks awesome! Love that last pic with the three-wheel action! :bowdown:

You make me want to consider 295's on my '86 now. I was gonna do them in the rear already but was just gonna do 245 or 255's for the front...maybe 275's up front...hmmmm
