Right tire size??
 

Well i plan on getting the 18x9 saleen replica rims for my GT. But I dont know which size/brand of tire I should get? Also I have heard of bigger in the rear than the front??//

If you get say like 275/40/18's all the way around you can have them rotated which will give you alot longer tire life.Brand is up to what you are willing to spend and what you like.

I have heard of the Nitto's, Yokohama's, and Kumho's. But i dont know where to buy them from and do you have any pics of the tire that size?

Yea I will try and find some pics for you.

id say
 

just got the same size like lance said, causeof the whole tire rotation thing which will save ya some $$, but if you have the $ to burn def. get like 10.5 in the rear if itl fit :icon_fara

Here is a pic of the clearance I have on the rear with 285/35/18's....

Is that even lowered?

Yep 1 1/2 but I was sitting at a low angle when I took that pic and it looks a little higher than it actually is :)

damnnn Lances03GT you got that lowered just right.. sitting on 18's too.. nice.. very nice.

StangGT804 its best to go big and 275-285 for the rears is the safest bet... :glasses10

Just wondering why go big in the rear? What does it help? Cant i just go all around? Also can i see some pics of how wide and the stance of the car with those large tires on.

Laff...on an 18x10 you can go up to 315/30/18....

You and your 285/35/18's....HA!!

Those work well in the front however!

:( Hey Ive got 285/35/18's in the rear. Was only size I could get that were in stock.

Here is a pic of mine from the rear...........

Here is a before pic. Sorry yes I used to have Altezzas :)

PSST..Blur Out Your Liscence Plate!

Lance have any side pics and what size are those again? Front and rear sizes??

Good thing you got rid of those chrome taillights,I mean black or carbon fiber might be a bit better but nothing beats the stockers.

Yea I need too :icon_thum

They wer Gunmetal but looked chrome to me too. Sold them to a girl for $100 bucks though :icon_thum

My fronts are 265/35/18's and the rear are 285/35/18's. Here is a side view.......

Have anymore pics of the stang? want to go with your setup of tire size!! I LOVE YOUR DSG STANG! Love the wheels!!

Also wat % of tint you have?

I have Limo tint on the rear and small sidesand 20% on the doors.

Hey checked out your ride on cardomain, looked kinda like this :)

Yea after seeing your pics im def gettin that setup!! Nice ride! But i am still getting saleens!! lol

Is that limo tint legal and can you see out of it!!??

Those Saleens are sweet, I almost went with them.

In Missouri you can go as dark as you want on the rear and the little side windows but only 35% on the doors,but if I can get away with it why not :)

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)

No offense or anything but i like lances setup alot! Why should i go with ur suggestion? Jus wonderin man, u have any pics!! But thnx tho for the suggestiion!!

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..

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".. :rolleyes:

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

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.
