Default Tires/Rims...

Well, since I wont be doing too much drag racing/getting massive mods...

Would I be fine with 275/40's front and back on my stang? So ill be able to rotate tires and everything and save alittle money?

but then I cant have those beautiful DD rims on the rear

link to tires They arn't the best, but tred looks nice and around my budget

I run 275/40's and it looks fine. I don't know what stock is off the top of my head.. but the 275's give a wider look and save the $$.

Do you have any pics of the 275s in the rear?

On the back 275 is fine, on the front dont do it. You can go 255/45/17 up front and 275/40/17 out back. You wont be able to rotate them all the way around but i dont and i still get lots of miles out of my tires. Or you can go 255/45/17 all the way around and it will fit and look good.

Hey i was curious if there was much difference in the ride between the 17's and 18's. I was looking to upgrade from 17's and i've heard 18's ride like a skateboard.
