I havent been here in a while guys, I just got back from a deployment to Iraq.
I am going to put new rims on my '96 GT.
I plan on putting 18 x 10's in the back with 18 x 9's in the front (saleen style)
my question is what tire's should I use and do I have any clearance concerns when I put my Eibach pro kit on the Stang. Sorry if this is a repetitive question, I couldnt find a similar thread. thanks.

God bless

Anyways, I have 9.5" front and rears with tokico lowering springs (I'm not sure how they compare to the Eibach's.) I do 275's on the front and 285's in the rear. The front rubs a little bit if you crank the wheel all the way when you're going slow, like parking.

I would do a 265/35/R18 on the front and 295/35/R18 on the back with your setup.

265/35/18's in front and 295/35/18 out back fit the 18x9 and 18x10's perfectly. thats what i have on my car.

mine rubbed in the rear and also rub up front on the sharp fender lips (but im really low) .... you can, however, roll your fenders pretty easily, and once you do that, there's no other problems.

some people with the pro-kit springs dont ever have rubbing issues.
