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:
What size are you running up front? Im guessing a 265/35?

I could run a 295 if I wanted with ease. I went 285 because I wanted to run a bit more sidewall with the 40 series.
now if you want the tire to be flush with the fender and run wheel spacers or a more positive offset then you may need to roll them.

unfortunately it belonged to a college kid who graduated this last semester, so I cant go grab any pics of it.DocG2828 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?

they were pretty much flush with the rim
nice car! yea, and the bfg's run wide so other brands of 285 tires look way too small on the 10" rimDope 97GT said: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

helty said:thanks guys, you rock. Except tom tom.
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
Dope 97GT said:BTW i now have a running pony front grill emblem and 99-04 GT badges on the fenders and my calipers are painted red but my car is broke and dirty and i have no pics with the new looks
I definitely notice the difference. Looks alot better with the 35's.....Dope 97GT said: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.
285/40/18s

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.
