What's the widest 18" rim you can put on a 2005 Mustang V6 Vert.? Please keep in mind that I want to have the same size rim all around and which tire size would be fit?

Thanks in advance.

I have 275's on my rear wheels. I have 18's too. Not sure how wide you can go, but I know you can put 285's on there.
The 275's are quite wide.

275 is usually fit to a 9 inch rim

How about 255/45/18? What rim size would I need to accommodate this size tire?

Click to expand...
if you look into the tire information on the tires you are loking to buy, it has the suggested rim widths listed. a 255 should be good on an 8" rim.

the tire information will tell you diameter, section width, tread width, revolutions per mile, suggested rim sizes, etc.
