So I'm doing this build on a 347 stroker. Mainly for canyon runs and track. This is my first build and wanted to ask any export experience human being that tire size and rim size are good on a 1987 foxbody mustang

A lot of work here and not just one answer. For canon runs you'll need a 5 lug disk conversion. If you do a disc conversion, you should put bigger discs in the front. Then there is the booster saga. Depending on the rear axles you go with you'll need different offset wheels. You'll need to roll your fender lips.

For canyon runs try 255 front and 275 rear.. ran that in my IRS swapped 82 chp and the car took corners like a dream.. make sure you get the proper alignment as well though!
