Duuuuuval!
hi im new here. sold my f150 a few weeks ago and i bought a 2003 mustang GT centennial edition today. im so happy! i am looking at blacm fr500 deep dish wheels. 18x10. what tire sizes can i go with? and whats a good tire to go with? do you all know if 305s will stick out up front? thanks for any help in advance.:SNSign:
 
i'd go with 18x9 up front and 18x10 in the rear if you want to go with those tires.

The 315's will look really weird on the 18x9's. I've got 18x9" FR500's and i've got a 285 on the rear and you can tell it bulges a bit

315's won't really fit on a 9" wheel.

You have the front right, 18x9 with 275/35/18's

Out back you can run 18x10's with 315/30/18's
:stupid: what he said

Jason is right.like 275 are 285s is good on a 18x9 rims i would go 275 alittle safer.But a 315 on a 9 inch rims not safe..A 18x10 would be good for a 315..
depends on the rim (fronts), always check the spacing
 
My setup....18x9F (275/35) and 18x10R (295/35)

Right, so all the advice I gave you over the phone earlier today matches what everyone else told ya.

18x9 up front with a 275x35x18 and 18x10s out back with a 295x35x18 tire, or a 305x30...

Even if you got 18x9 wheels all around and you decided to NOT go with the same tire size all around that would mean you cant rotate your tires, so you might as well get the 18x10's for the rear. My advice, dont make the same mistake i did and go ahead and get those 18x10s for the rear, especially if you want that wide meaty look in the back.

Check out www.mustangtuning.com for rims, they have good prices

Depending on offset/backspacing, 18X9 fronts with 265/35, and 18X10 backs with 285/35 will look nice
:stupid:

That's the same exact size I bought. I just received my set yesterday from Mustangtuning.com. Here's a few pics to help you out. Excuse the dirt. It's been raining so I haven't had time to give the car a good cleaning.

i think 275 on front is best set up for most(unless your hardcore drugracer. then skinnies up on front)
As far as rear goes, Unless you want the "wow" facter, I would stick with same size as upfront. I don't, and I wish i could so that i could rotate'em.
