Just bought new wheels, now what kind of tires?

[Orange04BOSS]

I just bought 2 deep dish bullitt wheels 18x10 for the rear and 18x9 for the front. I was thinking about getting 265 for the front and then 295 for the back. So 265/40/18 for the front and 295/40/18 for the back. I wanted 315's for the back but I was told that my suspension would not like that much. What do you guys and or girls think and do any of yall have those same wheels? Thanks in advance.

If you like the look of 315s and have the money for'em, go for it. Note that if you're a corner carver, putting wider tires in the back than the front leads to understeer on a Mustang with stock suspension.

295s will be fine too. But with either one, you need to consider a 35 series aspect ratio for the back and 40 series for the front. (ex. 295/35/18R ; 265/40/18F) This is so that you can maintain the same wheel diameter from front to back.

Yeah, go with 35's. I run 265/35/18 and 285/35/18. Although I would like to go bigger in the back myself, maybe some 305's on my 18x10 Saleens.

Neither of those tires sizes are stock diameter. Go to www.tirerack.com and click specs

265/35/18 is a great front tire size (which I run).
