tire size on 18 inch saleens

[1993SSP]

Anyone in here either have or know someone who is running 18 inch saleens on a fox body? I'm thinking of ditching the 1999 cobra's for some saleen replica's, I have 245/45's with no rubbing issues, just throwing around some idea's. I was looking at the 17 inch saleens but the just dont look right for some reason

Those are 9 inches wide. I would suggest a 275 at least for the rear. You can run 245's but they will be stretched and it makes the wheel lip stick out, which you might rash against a curb. You might get away with 255's on the front without rubbing. Goodyear tires run wide, so if you go 245's make it a Goodyear. BFG's run small, so
I wouldn't buy 245 BFG's for the front.

245/40/18 safely

maybe can get away with a 275 out back

I am going with 255/35/18s out front, and 285/35/18s out back on my wheels (I do have 10" rear wheels though). I will let you know how they fit when they get here!

Hurry up & do this so that I can figure out what size tire I am going to run!
