I got a set of 18x9 and 18x10 Deep Dish Bullitts for $300 on Craigslist for my 2005 V6 convertible. Then I bought a set of excellent front used Nitto 255/45/18 tires for $150. As I am looking at the cost of 285/40/18 rear tires, and looking at the deeper dish wheels for the back, I am having second thoughts.

The 18x10's look great on coupes, but not so much on the convertibles. What do you guys think? Wondering if I should:

1) Sell all these and get some newer OEM 18" wheels and tires (used);

2) Sell the 18x10’s and put 18x9's all the way around;

3) Buy some 295/45/18’s for the rear and make them fat and deep (the 285/40/18's seem a little ricy)

Cost is an issue! I really wanted to stay below $800 for everything. Thoughts?

Hard to comment without pics of what you're proposing.

I've never seen a set on a Mustang I didn't think looked great.
