Yes, 3.55 is the optimal gear for the Mustang with either rim/tire size. 3.73 comes in handy if you plan to run a taller tire. 28" tall ET Street equals 27.6" in diameter which on a stock car would prevent a shift into 5th before the traps.

3.55 provides some room with the 1.32 4th gear to allow for mods without the need to shift into 5th.
