I know there are aftermarket replica wheels for Mustangs I'm unsure if they go larger than 10" wide. I thought they did but I can't find the website now. I'm not saying it's much of a stretch but I can clearly see the sidewall rolling over towards the tread from the wheel to the contact patch.

I will help you out here's a site above for the SVE wheels used for the 2011 Mustang & you can see for that year the widest are 10's. Using a tire that fits within manufactures recommendations is great. My argument is for those who stretch a tire beyond the range listed form the tire company. Like a 225/45-17 on a 17"x12" is definitely not within spec.
