I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

The snowflakes have a inch more offset so they will sit in about a inch more.  May want to mount up the ones you have to see if you like them.  I had a set on my 1984 LTD LX and I liked the look.  But to get the same tire height you have to go with a 245/50-16.  I just sold a set with new tires for $350.  The guy had a Turbo Coupe rear in a Mustang and needed a wheel with more offset.

I like the 10 hole wheels on the Thunderbird and you can get these for a pretty good price with tires if you wait.  Just keep on checking Craigslist for Mustang wheels and something will pop up.  I did not know where you live in VA, the second like looks like a very good deal to me.

I think your stock 14 inch wheels will be too narrow for a 225.
