hey everyone i'll be getting new rims pretty soon.. which im' going with bullit 18X9 front and 18X10 in rear... now my question will be the height of the car.. right now i have the buillit suspension.. came with the car.. will the car look like a truck with them... just wondering because i'm saving up money on for the road/track package from MM and didn't want to spend money on springs and stuff now... thanks again for reading this... also what would be some good tire sizes for autocross/road racing... thanks
 
When you go with a larger diameter wheel, you match it with the appropriate size tire so that the ride height doesn't change. Ex (245/45/17 & 245/40/18 = same height)

That being said, larger wheels do make the car look as though it's sitting higher, whether they're the same height or not, so you might want to factor a set of lowering springs into your future budget. :nice:
 
so should i go ahead and buy my H&R springs and Blisten struts.. before i get the rims? i just dont want the car to look to high up.. its dropped a bit compared to other mustangs.. thanks again :confused:

Put the wheels and tires on before you buy them and see what you thing. If you don't like the look, it's nothing to pull off the wheels again and install the springs and shocks afterwards. :)
