If so what tire sizes fit..Even if you don't have em, do you think 315 BFG's drag radials will fit?

275 is the smallest you can go with.

not safely. I say 285 is absolute minimum, but look silly. 295 is minimum to be looking good. 315 is definatly fit comfortably, and looking good, but bit overkill unless your car is making more power in my opinion. I can't wait for Nitto to come out with 555 in 305

yeah, they are made to fit 315/30's.. 285/35 works (smallest i would go).. 295/35 works well too (just a taller tire)

Mity2, your wheels look good on your car. Looking at your rear wheels it appears as if the 285 is a tight fit. I just ordered the same wheels with 295's out back. I sure hope they do not look to small. I wanted a 315's but your somewhat limited in a 18" diameter and the ones that I could find were nearly $300 each if not more.

Oh yeah, where do you live. In all your pics its raining or all wet outside. That must make it really hard to keep up a Mustang as good looking as yours. Props on your wheels

Anyone got pics of 295 on 10.5" wheels ? I don't want to end up with silly looking tires...

I think Michelin is the only manufacturer of 315/30/18 street tire

it look good but edge of rim is tiny bit sticking outferther then tire(i.e. no rim guard). I must say 285 is absolute minimum you can mount on 10.5" rims. I klnow some people mounted 275 on 10.5", but that just can't be safe. it'll look as if rim is going to pop off from tire if you take turn too fast. I wanted to order 295, but I do not wanted to get mismatched tire(like Nitto front, and Yokohama out back) and Nitto does not come in 295( )

I live in Upstate NY. yes it is really hard to keep my car clean here let me tell you...
