Since i had no reply i just went ahead and bought the set and bolted the wheels up today. Verdict is yes they do fit but i had to file the caliper a bit because it was making contact and left some visible marks in the inner side. Wheels are 17x9 with m/t et street 295/45/17. For those of you looking for a budget drag pack is worth it.

Pic #1 The part of the caliper that you have to shave.
Pic #2 What they look like once mounted.
Pic #3 Caliper to wheel clearance.

Nice! those were my favorite size of tire to run but Mickey Thompson quit making those ET Street tires in ‘16. I looked at your date code and those were early early 2015. You might get some wheel hop with those as they are most likely hard as a rock by now. But at the time, they were an awesome tire to have.

Do they stick out of the quarter far?

They are still soft they were stored properly so they hook really good. And yes for some reason the et street s/s dont come in 295/45 only the old et street radial if you can find them.

It doesnt stick out with this tire but i think it might with a 305 because is right there with the quater as it seats.

That is a snug fit right there, and for some reason LMR keeps telling me a 18"x10" SVE Drift won't fit on the rear. I can't see how any 18" rim would be too small to fit on the rear of a S550 Mustang.
