I read the sticky thread up top, but i just want to make 100% sure. I'm about to purchase tires for the Deep dish chrome bullit rims that i bought from Mustang tuning. I have 18x10's out back and 18x9's up front. I believe the offset is 45mm all the way around. So, will these tires fit alright?

BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2

Front: 255/45YR18
Rear: 285/40YR18

Im going for a staggered look so i think this will accomplish that goal. Thanks guys.

Take it from me, I'm sure you made the right choice. Both sizes are within a few hundredths of an inch in height, the 285's will fill the wheel well very nicely, and you didn't make the mistake of going over 18".

I've got 18x10's in the rear with 18x9's in the front running 255/45 and 285/40 PZero Nero M+S Pirelli's. I got my wheels from an internet based supplier (www.customwheelsmarket.com) that is local to me but I believe the manufacturer is the same--Verde. The backspacing and offset on the 18x10's are 6.44 in. and 45mm, respecitvely. The fronts are something like 6.42in/36mm. I just checked the website (to double check) and it seems that the offset value for the 18x10's is different. I'm pretty sure my rear offset is 45mm. Either way, the fit is perfect IMO. My goal was for a staggered look with max rear width w.o ANY protrusion anywhere from the wheelwells and I got it.

What size are you talking about? I'm looking for 295/40/18 drag radials, but it doesn't look like anybody makes them.

I haven't decided on brand of tire yet but your setup is exactly what I am planning on ordering next month. I am getting the deep dish black bullits though. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is any rubbing with these size tires if the car has been lowered an inch (steeda springs)?
