Default 18x10's?

I bought saleen 18x9's but I just measured them and they're 18x10's. Will 18x10's fit ok on my 02 Mustang v6? And if so, what size/make tires should I get?

where were you measuring from... do not measure from the very edge of the lip measure where the wheel weight would sit... ( where it indents).. so its kinda hard to explain but if you were measuring it wrong that would for srue make it 10 inches instead of 9 inches... and if you're doing it right the more power to you... cause you just got 10 inche wheels for the price of 9's

I was measuring edge to edge and when I remeasured it was 9 inches. lol, thanks. Any suggestion on tires for 18x9's? I have my stock wheels with winter tires on them that I'll be switching with every winter.

right now on my 02 gt i'm running 275-35-18 up front and 295-35-18 on back both on 9 inch rims... the 295's do have a little bit of a "buldge" off the rim but i prefer that look anyways.. i'm thinking about switching to 275's all the way around when these 295's run out cause its just more practical you can rotate tires like recommended (extending life of tire threfore saving money) and 275's are pretty wide on a fairly stock car anyways..... its all a matter of opinion i guess.... let me know if you want soem pics or anything

you can make any tire fit on a rim with a little bit of encouragement... but fitting 315's on a 10" rim isn't that hard to do... so ya they'll fit on teh rim just make sure they will fit on teh car not sure how wide you can go on 05+ cars yet...
