Think Lonestar usesthe same suspension setup as Classic Roadsters, '74 - '78 Mustang II front, '79 - '89 Mustang 8.8 rear.

Used 17"x8" front, 4" backspacing, 235/45ZR tires. Rears are 17" x 9 1/2", 5" backspacing, 275/40ZR tires. Tire pressure 24 - 26 psi.

Good ride, exceptional traction on wet and dry roads, sticks like glue on corners, and very hard to induce wheelspin. Don't think you need 315 size rears for a 302 motor, and the wider your fronts are, the more the steering tends to follow road depressions.
