I know there are a plethora if threads on tire questions, but I couldn't find a clear-cut answer to MY question since I haven't decided on the wheel size yet...so I'm posting another one, forgive me.

I want the widest possible tire in the back of my '04 GT (without rubbing). I really like the 18" deep-dish Bullitts, but do I HAVE to go with a 10" (or even a 10.5") to maxamize the space provided, or is it possible to max out the room in the back with a 9" or 9.5" wheel using a 305 or 315 tire??

Keep in mind I'm going for looks over true performance here since I dont plan to ever race my car...well at least not on a track!! I just dont know what size wheels to buy. These are going to be my X-MAS present this year, so I want have exact information before the wife goes out shopping for these!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

315 or 305 will not fit any rim that is smaller than 10". Fattest tire your gonna be able to fit on 9.5 rims would be a 285.

Here is a link that allows u to jot in a tire size.....and it will tell you what rim size it will fit.
