Question about tires...
Stock tires on the TL-P... 205/60/16 right?
Is it possible to put wider tires on the car, while keeping stock rims? I don't get it, shouldn't the tires be as wide as the rim? If it's wider, wouldnt the rubber hang off the sides unsupported? I apologize in advance for this stupid question.. :p

How wide the tire can be depends on the width of the wheel and the height of the sidewall. The shorter the sidewall (the lower the profile), the closer the width of the tire must be to the width of the wheel. But no matter how low the profile, the tire will always be wider than the actual wheel - it is rubber so it can flex.

I dunno, but for me, I don't want that "oversized" tire look like most 5.0 Mustang folks do on their rear tires. I'd say 215/55/16 just to keep it looking close to stock.
