Rim/tires advise

[mustangGT2001]

hello all, looking for some advise and pics if possable, i want to change my rims to the bullet dark gray 17x9 and 17x10.5, now i have the stock tire and stock bullet rims, What do you recomend for the back tires ? should i get the 285/40ZR/17 tires for the back and stay with the stock 245/45ZR/17 tires in the front? Does the 17x9 front rim work ok with the stock 245/45ZR/17 tires. The front tires are still new hate to change and i do like how they look with the car lowered just whant something for the back that would make the car look nicer and fill up some if possable.

Thankyou for your help

Luis

I have 17 by 9's on the front and 17 by 10.5's on the rear and It looks nice but the only problem is finding tires for the dang thing. They charge you out the ass for them and I can't decide what tires I am going to get next. I was deciding to get like Pirelli P7000 super sports or BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDWS. other than that my front Nitto 555's have out lasted 2 sets of rears and are still going strong. I would reccoment getting the 9's all aroung because it still sticks out just as far but doesn't fill the inside of the fender well as much when looking from behind. Another problem I had with the 10.5 is my exhaust rubbing so I would have went with the 9's if I knew all of that stuff. I would still get 10.5 if I had the money to stick a drag radial on to go to the track.

I have the deep dish bullets adn use 255/45/17 in the front and 285/40/17 in the back. I use Kumhos (712's). The only other option is 315's and they are very expensive save the Sumitomo HTRZ which I think is $150, but not a great tire.

I recomend that you go with the biggest rims you can afford, that said, 17X9 all around is a good combo, if you can afford it go with the 10.5 in the rear. you will love the look and the grip. click my sig link for pics of my setup.

my 2 cents

This is off the subject but do you have any more pics of your car. (mustangGT2001) Looks like you painted your stock scoop black and stripped it kinda like a mach 1. i was thinking of doing that but havent seen anyone that has done it
