I think the fronts are 265/35/18....rears are 285/35/18....If I had picked the tires they would have probably been 295/35/18's....but mustang tuning wouldn't put those on there before shipping :/

sumitomo 285/35/18s are pretty inexpensive and still look great on a 18x10 wheel. and you can pick up some really cheap 265/35/18's for the front.

Well, I just ordered the 18x9 - 275/35/18, and 18x10 - 285/35/18's. I hope they look good. I'm not a fan of really low profile tires, so I hope they don't look too skinny. I got the Anthracite and Nitto 555 tires. All for less than $1500.
