You can run much larger tires on the SN-95 Mustangs than on Fox bodied cars. Out back the biggest I think you could do would be a 295. I've known people with 315s but they had to cut the tailpipes off because they were rubbing on the tires. This is, of course, with larger wheels. Just slapping a 295 tire on an 8" wheels would probably hurt your handling/traction more than it would help. Up front I'd go as big as 275 with bigger wheels. AFS makes 17"x10.5" Cobra Rs that would do wonders for your car and would make that size tire useable.
