I really like the look of the stangs with a little bit of the tire sticking out of the rear fender, what size of tire would I need to go with to get this look?

I was thinking I would have to use 305's in the rear, even though I would rather go no bigger then 295's, no idea about the front tires.

well i have 275 front and 285 rear. but i dont think it looks wide enough. i would suggest a 295-305 normally. but you will need some aftermarket wheels to achieve this. i run 18x9 front and 18x10 DD rear.

You are going to need a minimum of 305's for this...I have 315's and would recommend that...

275's with a 9 inch wheel and 1 inch wheel spacers will do the trick. 315's with a 1/2 or so inch spacer. Ur pretty much going to need new wheels and spacers. Others have done it w/o spacers, just no clue on the wheel spacing.

315s on a 10.5" rim. Best pic I have from the rear that shows how they look, pretty much even with the fender. Looks the best IMO.

You don't want wheels or tires sticking out past the fender. If you have stock wheels, the meax tire you should go is a 255. If you want 275's or 285's get a 17X9 wheel. If you want 295, 305, or 315's you should get a 17X10.5 wheel. Even with that size, it will not stick out past the fender, but it will fill the wheel well more.

The wheels I'm going to get are 18x9 and 18x10, the tires I was thinking were 265's in the front and 295's in the rear, will that do the trick? Or do i need to go up to 305 in the rear?
