size?
 

since im eventually getting a GT, i want to get rims and tires for it right away...
Id like to kno wut the best sizes are all around for 18's ? and if i should just get 17's if they are cheaper? ... also, if I get 18's, wut size would the rims have to be?

I have 265/35/18's on DD 18x9's and 285/35/18's on a 18x10.I like how they look but I will go with a bigger rear next time.17's are alot cheaper,the perfect size on 17's would be 275/40/17 with a 315/35/17 on the rear.

will the tire size matter on peformance or just looks?

Mostly looks and traction.I love the look of a wide ass tire on the rear.

ROUGHLY, whats the price diff. between 18's n 17's? if ya kno...

Hmmmmmm my 18's (tires) were $850.You can get 17's for around $500.

the 350 difference would just take me about 3 months to save for...lol so If i start saving and eventually get the GT, first mod could be pretty tires :)

whats a good brand of tire ?

Nitto,Sumitomo,BFG it all depends on what you are wanting too spend :)

hmmm, idk what im willing to spend...lol...all i kno is what kind of rims id want since im getting a black GT (i only want black >_<) .. i wanna get the black bullit rims with chrome lip, but not sure if reg. or deepdish?

Don't even think regular go with the DD.They look awesome.

so id HAVE to get DD or no? w/e looks better imma get...lol

YES get the DEEP DISH BULLITS.

LOL OK! WILL DO WHEN I GOT THE CAR+MONEY...so yea, thx lol

i kno wut sizes u got, but what would be the prefered size tires??

18's I'd say 265/35/18 on the front and 295/35/18 on the rear.

^^^^WHS^^^^^^

I have the same set-up as Lance and it is awesome!

hey guys...i was wondering the same question about what would be the best tire for a 18 inch rim...considering i didnt drop the stang at all. From what im reading 265/35/18 is the best...does it matter that i have a 97? should i still have no problem with clearance??

You should still be fine with that setup.

That is the set-up I have on my stang and all together brand new wheels and tires, mounted and balanced, it cost me $1142 and the rear wheels are deep dish.

What brand of tires are you running?

i want 18's when i eventually get my new stang...and i just cant wait tho itll be months before i get it...:(

Yea, i can't wait till I get my black fr500's next year. I just dont know to get the supercharger or the wheels first!
