i ran 17x8 mustang wheels, on my old car, but they were 32 offset, i don't have a clue of all mustang wheels are the same.

AND i ran lots of camber in the front. if you have stock strut tops, it'll eat the fenders

secondly i ran 235 tires, and 255 might fit in the rear, but i doubt it will in the front

no chance those tires are gunna be close to fitting unless you have a ridiculous widebody. the wheels themselves will fit fine in the front and with room to spare in the back.

yes I took a few measurements on the car and the rims will fit just not the tires. I think the the 255 will fit in the back but not spending the money to just have to buy 2 new tires. thanks for the help guys. link was great help
