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:

jasonh_86 · Apr 25, 2006

Do you mean your wanting 18x10 all around??

Cantslowdown · Apr 25, 2006

18x10 will not work all the way around in the back yes but fornt I really dont think it would work..Something would have to rub when turning the car lock to lock..

copmagnet · Apr 25, 2006

uh......yeh

tomustang · Apr 25, 2006

They wouldn't fit plush in the front, which would be illegal, unless you pick-up a SLA setup (mega $$$)

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

confused

copmagnet · Apr 25, 2006

im not cornfused, thanks for the help tomustang. i think ima go with 18x9 all the way around and 275s frnt 315s rear. 315s should fit that wheel right?

jasonh_86 · Apr 25, 2006

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

Mustang5L5 · Apr 25, 2006

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

Cantslowdown · Apr 25, 2006

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)

BigChiefSmokem · Apr 26, 2006

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.

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.

car enthusiasts don't worry about illegal modifications

at least I don't

I was thinking illegal in a mustang law sense... LIke... Altezza tail lights on a mustang are in violation of mustang law article 332.5...

mity2 · Apr 26, 2006

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.

Firemanz · Apr 26, 2006

I'm rolling with 265/35 up front on a 9" rim and 295/35 out rear on a 10" rim....

AmBo · Apr 27, 2006

18x9 (275/35) up front 18x10 (295/35) out back
