I recently lowered my car about 1.5 inches with Eibach-Pro kit. I think 245/45/18 tires will easily fit in front based on some sigs in this forum. I've seen 245/45/17 tires in front on 2 inch dropped Mustangs.
I want tires that are 1 inch taller than stock for the following reasons:
1) It will lessen the gap between the tire and the fender by 1/2 inch. I think this will look awesome.
2) It will increase my ground clearance 1/2 inch. This is still 1 inch lower than stock.
The disadvantages are:
1) Higher price for the tires and rims.
2)Faster wear on the brakes and shocks.
3) Less power feel due to less torque multiplication.
I was thinking of getting 245/45/18 tires front and 275/40/18 tires rear.
If I get 255/45/18 front, and 285/40/18 rear I will be able to use a spare from a new Mustang(05-07)
Any thoughts?
