Thanks man, Im really leaning towards the 285/40s. Same price as the 295/35s. I like the idea of a slightly bigger sidewall too.hognutz said:

You got any pics or links of that car? I thought I was set on 18's too....but now that I've seen the prices of some 17's with tires on MT....I may be thinking chrome 17' DD bullitts. There's a car in Modified Mustangs that's yellow with these rims and it looks sweeeet! HTF do you spell bullitts the correct way anyways?
unfortunately it belonged to a college kid who graduated this last semester, so I cant go grab any pics of it.DocG2828 said:
the correct way, ala the movie, is Bullitt(s).
Here are some pics of what Im going for, in 17", and 18". Unfortunately the 18" is a distant shot. Both look great IMO, but when I saw the 18s in person, I was
Theres always Pro-Stars and MT's for the track

I had BFG KDW2s when i first had my rims put on but they were 285/40/18 and were way too tall so I switched to 295/35/18s and i like them very much

Thanks guys

Helt.. I didn't read all of this thread... but i'd call you out of your stinking mind (all in good joking fun, of course 
) if you got 295/40 or 295/45.. 40 and 45 is too tall of a sidewall for the car, imo. It'd look kinda goofy. If you notice, my 285/35 sidewall is taller than my 265/35 sidewall since the 2nd number is a % of the first number.. so it's 35% of the 285 (99.75), which would make it a little taller than 35% of 265 (92.75).. so if you want with a 295/40, then good lord it'd be tall, but it's your money and not mine.. but even if you do, I see no reason to roll the fenders 
There's a moron around conway with a lowered GT with 22's on it, it's about an '03 model.
Stick with at least a 295/35.. but I might actually look at the 305/35's. You've seen how the 285/35 look on a 9" rim, so you may want to go a little bigger just in case. BFG's do run a good deal bigger, so i'd stick with them if you do decide to go with a 295
Edit: If you do decide to order tires and you order BFG's, let me know. I need to place an order for 2 front tires haha

I like the idea of the 285/40/18 BFG KDW2s since they run wider, but Im also thinking about 295/35s. I guess I'll call the local ricer shop and see if they roll fenders.
fluff-dogg, the rims are my next buy, just for you, I promise

helty i wouldnt suggest the 285/40s because they looked way too tall for me and they looked kinda goofy and made the wheel look small.

im not sure if you can see a big difference in the pics but when you see it in person its huge. I almost sold my saleens because of this but when i got the correct size tire i love them and wouldnt have any other rim on my car.
