StangGT804 · 05-20-2005, 11:51 PM

Well im looking for the tires and im having trouble with finding a good brand also, some websites i have looked at dont have the same brand of tire for the two different size tires for the front and rear. Need some help lance, where did you purchase your tires from??

I went to a local tire shop here in town,they always hook me up.You might have to go localy and check what they can get for you.The only problem I had was that I was wanting 315/35/18's and all his suppliers were out of stock.Mine are Sumitomo HTRZ 2's. A tire shop should be able to find what you are looking for :icon_thum

Go with a 18 x 10 in the rear.

For now tirerack.com is offering bfg comps for 119.00 each in 295/35/18's.They fit nice on a 10" wheel ..
And go with a 245/40/18 in the front 9" wheel(both tires have the same diameter 25.7).You can get that size from the tirerck for about 100.00 each (sumotos)

You dont have to go with my selection just giving you another avenue.

Plus the 295 is about 1/2 wider with the same basic overall diameter than the 285's.They fit nice on a 10" wheel which most saleen replicas come in.
The 315's in a 18 will require a 11+ inch wheel to have the proper contact patch.AND the 315/35/18's are about 3/4 of a inch TALLER than the average stang tire,so it will drop your gearing also.

No pics on the new setup.But i know the 295/35/18's on 18 x 10's only have a 1/8 of a inch differece compaired to my old 315/35/17's on a 10.5 rim..

StangGT804 · 05-23-2005, 08:06 PM

I am going with this setup My fronts are 265/35/18's and the rear are 285/35/18's

Also to let you kno i do not like those beefy stlyle of tires, where it is thick n wide in the rear and and small in the front.

LOL Ok.The tire sizes you posted will give you the same exact look as the ones i posted.except the rears have about 1/2" more meat on them(295's).

Im sure a 1~1.5 inch difference between front and rear will be a "big and little look"..

StangGT804 · 05-23-2005, 08:45 PM

Well maybe it isnt much difference but i would like to see some pics!!

*Lances03SVT* · 05-24-2005, 01:57 AM

I was wanting 295/35/18's but my tire guys suppliers were out of stock on them.The 265's and the 285's match up very well though.
