Batman,
I'll second the 18" track wheel recommendation--more tire choices at lower prices.
But for track days, you'll want to run smaller tires than stock because of the smaller rim. The sidewall needs to be strong enough not to roll over. If you found an 18" tire the same diameter as the stock 19" tires, it may roll over in hard turns.
I run PF01 9.5x18 wheels and Nitto NT-05 275/40/18 tires on all 4 corners (Strano sway bars to balance out going square).
Hankook RS3 is another good choice.
I have a freind who runs Dunlop Direzza Star Specs on his BMW Z4 and really likes them. But a Mustang weighs a lot more, and I don't know if that tire is made in our sizes. A 275/35 gets a little small in overall diameter.
