Big fat tires and everything !
This is the route I took. I also ordered a factory Mustang jack and lug wrench from the dealer. Take the hold down off your fix a flat that came with the Boss and install all in the trunk donut hole. Almost like factory. Sits about 1/2" high but trunk cover masks that well. I leave all in even at the track to get some weight out back.

According to the people at allfordmustangs.com an 18x8.5 wheel along with a 225/50R18 will clear the rotors.
I checked Pirelli site for the "Standard Boss" rear tire diameter(26.8") and revolutions per mile (751.02) for the 285/35 ZR 19.
A Goodyear Eagle LS2 225/50 18 measures 26.8" and 750.9 revolutions per mile.
Take a look at the Drag Wheel DR31. It was the most affordable wheel ($147.00) I could find in a 8.5 to 9.5 width.
One last thing, check to see if there are any used tires around the shop. When I mentioned that I was looking for a spare, they found a like new Yokohama for $70.00
The wheel clears the front rotors, matches the rear tire diameter and fits in the spare tire well. I was out the door for $255.
