Are they 17's or 18's? Go with 315/35's if they're 17's.

Got any pics?

305's are the largest you will want on 18's. They may have clearance problems if your car is lowered, depending on what brand tires you get.

285's will look nice and square off flush to the rim. I haven't seen any 305's on 18's yet.

www.volpaz.com
They had Free Shipping and they came with the lug nuts and center caps and stuff....
total was $649 shipped

Those are also the Anthracite colored ones... stangnet part shopper didnt have those at the time... i found them http://mustangracing.mrt-direct.com/fr500wheels.php there also for less money, but never heard of that company so i went with a company whose reputation i knew.

I have Sportlines installed and my 315/35/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's rub on the fender a little. The 305/35/18 Nitto DR's are the same width as my Goodyears, but they are around .6" taller. I say go with 285/295's if you want to play it safe, or go with the 305's if you don't mind taking a chance on them rubbing. Personally, I would probably go with the 305's

They rub on the lip of the fender, but 95% of the time it's only when turning onto uneven parking lots or driveways. The other 5% would be for large potholes or large speed bumps. SFC's might help, I will be installing some before I get my car back on the road.
