I have sets of stock rims and for all my fronts I have 225's
could I get away with 255's in the rear?

The offset of a wheel is what locates the tire and wheel assembly in relation to the suspension. More specifically, it is the measured distance between the hub mounting surface and the center line of the rim. Below is an explanation of the various types of offsets.
Positive Offset
A positive offset occurs when the hub mounting surface is on the street side (the side you see) of the center line of the rim. Most factory rims will have this type of offset.
Zero Offset
When the hub mounting surface is centered within the rim, it is known as a zero offset.
Negative Offset
If the hub mounting surface is on the brake side of the center line of the rim, it is considered a negative offset or “deep dish”.
Note that extensive negative offset can potentially cause increased steering wheel kick-back and place additional stresses on the vehicle's entire suspension.

not trying to be a smartarse or any thing, but if you will read the very first post in this thread, it will tell you that the 245/45/vr16 is the stock size for the starion/conquest stock 9" wide wheel. 245 is the overall width of the tire in millimeters.(fully inflated with no load on it) which is 9.65". that's only 3/4" wider than the stock 8.89" wide 225/50/vr16 for the 8" wide rim. so the answer is IF you have the stock 8jX16 or 9jX16 wheels "on the back of your 87tsi"...........yes

that would be 94-up Mustang, all 93-older 'stangs had 4-lug wheels, except the 93 Cobra.

Exactly, when ever I think Mustang rims, I think Cobra. You'll need spacers for the rims to fit right, I think it's like 1/4" for the front and.....dammit I can't think of the rear size.... It'll come to me.
Also, I posted about the Skyline rims fitting. Well, they fit but the backspacing is all wrong....
