You don't want a 275/40 on the rear and a 255/45 on front. If you want the staggered look go with a 285/40 out back. The 275/40 will be nearly a half inch shorter in diameter than the 255/45.

That is a lop sided package.

If you like the FOOSE Nitrous wheels.
Try Craigslist and Ebay.
They are all over the place for CHEAP.

I had gotten a set of Black Chrome FR500s from Latemodel Restoration one of the site's sponsors and I had a great experience. They have a nice site you can browse real easy and their shipping was super fast.

I'd recommend The Tire Rack.

I've gotten a few sets of rims from there. The 19's I've got on my car now only set me back about $400. Of course getting tires for 19's is a complete pain in the ass!!

+1 on the finding tires for 19ins.

Pity that's the perfect size wheel for this car...

Try these from OE Wheel

18" Mustang Cobra R Deep Dish 2005 Wheels -Chrome-Rvts-18x9-18x10-SET

I put a set on my 05 with Nitto 555's 255/45 front and 295/45 rears. Love this set up. Ordered them on a Monday morning mounted and balanced on my door step
that Friday afternoon. Great people to work with. Excelent service. Give them a call.

Try Blueovalindustries.com for original Ford wheels. Best prices I have found. I bought a replacement fanblade for just over $200 shipped. Ford's price was something like $650. Same wheel, brand new in the sealed Ford Racing box, not a take-off.
