Should look great.

245s wont fit in the front but shouldnt have trouble in the rear with a roll and maybe a pull. the 315s wont fit the rear unless you have a set of wide overfenders. i say sell the 315s to get 215s or 225s for the front and put the 245s on the rear wheels but thats just my opinion.

I figured 315 would be a bit much in the back, but tires need replacing anyways so I was thinking about just replacing them with smaller sizes as it was. And I have no problem pulling of a roll and pull cause I know those size runs would look great on the car.

they're 10.5" wide, even 275's aren't going to look too great on there unless you like the stretched look.
i also doubt the rears will fit even with a smaller tire. you'll probably hit the front edge of the lower control arm.
so basically none of them are going to fit without spacers and a serious fender pull, although the front wheels should fit with some slightly narrower tires and still will need a roll on the fender(i'm not even sure if they even will, my 8.5" with 235's barely clear my front coilovers with a roll on the fenders, stock struts give even less wheel clearance).
your best bet is to test fit them before committing to them.

I have 225 tires on 8.5" wide rims in the front and they barely fit with the coilovers and a rolled fender lip. The wheels with spacers net out to 25mm offset. I run the same wheel and tire in the rear with a wider spacer that nets out to 20mm offset.
I also have a pair of 9.5" wide rims that I could use with 255 tires and run a narrower spacer to net out to 25mm offset.
This guide is about the best out there for the FC RX7;
FC3S Pro v2.0:* Mods - Rims
So to answer your question, yes the 8" wide Mustang 24mm offset rims will fit in the front with say a 225 tire. The 10.5" wide Mustang 27mm offset rims will not fit. If you are looking for a staggered set of Mustang rims - look for a pair the 9" wide 24mm offset rims for the rear and mount a set of 255 tires on them.

my rears are 9.5X18, 275/45R18 +35, they rub the control arms and rub the rolled rear fenders. those wheels are an inch wider, they may clear but even the same 275's on those wheels won't fit as well as mine do on the 9.5" wheel due to the angle that the control arm follows and will be more prone to rubbing if it isn't constant.
the 'stang wheels are going to be close to the same +35 offset but who really knows for sure, since it isn't listed. everything would have to be perfect for them to fit and it still is going to require smaller tires and a fender pull.
