Wheel and tires

Ive got a set of 10 holes with 225-60-15s

Another set of 10 holes with 235-60-15s

A set of new 215-65-16 tires.

For now Im going to run the 225s on the front and the 235s on the rear.

The 16s are 1.5in taller then the 225s, otherwise the sidewall and tread are about the same.

Im wondering if I should put the 16s on a set of snowflakes and run those.  The 16s are nearly new and I hate to waste a set of new tires, cant sell them, they are an oddball size that only works on a 05+ V6 Mustang.

Sine the TC is lower with the Mustang springs it would bring me back close to the orginial ride height.

Opinions?

Scratch the 16s.  The 235s are on and although they arent much bigger than the 225s, they look huge.

The 235s are white letters, on Tuesday after work Im going to have them turned in. I will see how things look then.
