I got a set of wheels from a Mustang guy and need to know what size tire i should go with? They are staggerd 17x8 & 17x9. What are some of you guys running? They will be going on my 87 LX Bird.

The most direct +3 is 245/45R17 this will be virtually the same cirspoogeference as your originals, there should be no speedometer accuracy issues.

You can, and you should, but while that will fit nice on the 17x8's, it might look a little funky on the 17x9's.
