Sorry yeah they are 245/45's. Not to tall at all. I've had 800sf of wood flooring in the back and the wheels tucked perfectly. No rubbing at all. I'm running cheap Delinte tired because I wasn't sure if I was going to keep these wheels. Still not much road noise unless it's a rough road. Highway is very quiet. I drive it for work and average 100 miles a day with no issues.

I just bought a 2011 Fusion, and the tires are fair. In '06 I put some Bullits on my '05 GT so I have a set of stock 2005 Mustang GT rims / tires with about 3K miles on them. The Fusion tires are P225/50R17 and the Mustang tires are P235/55R17.

 

Do you notice any difference in the speedometer reading?

Red....with that bit of a difference in overall diameter, your speedo will likely read a hair slower than you are actually going. The Mustang wheels/Tires are gonna be taller than the Fusion ones, and its gonna make your speedo read slower than you are actually going. It may even be enough to make your ABS/Stability Control light come on, but thats less likely. Definietely gonna see a speedometer error though. Im guessing about 6-8 MPH slower than your actual speed.

That is about what I figured - on paper it looks like the vehicle will sit about 17mm higher. I will have to figure the circumference and see how much slower, but you are probably close. I will post the results and maybe some pics when the weather is better and I can get the Mustang wheels on the Fusion. Thanks for the input.
