size?

m0nkeh · 11-21-2005, 04:41 PM

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?

*Lances03SVT* · 11-21-2005, 04:43 PM

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.

m0nkeh · 11-21-2005, 04:46 PM

will the tire size matter on peformance or just looks?

*Lances03SVT* · 11-21-2005, 04:47 PM

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

m0nkeh · 11-21-2005, 04:48 PM

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

*Lances03SVT* · 11-21-2005, 04:51 PM

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

m0nkeh · 11-21-2005, 04:52 PM

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 ?

*Lances03SVT* · 11-21-2005, 04:55 PM

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

m0nkeh · 11-21-2005, 04:56 PM

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?

*Lances03SVT* · 11-21-2005, 04:57 PM

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

m0nkeh · 11-21-2005, 05:02 PM

*Lances03SVT* · 11-21-2005, 05:04 PM

m0nkeh · 11-21-2005, 05:05 PM

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??

*Lances03SVT* · 11-21-2005, 05:39 PM

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

Boon44 · 11-21-2005, 05:42 PM

^^^^WHS^^^^^^

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

97stanger · 11-26-2005, 07:33 AM

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??

*Lances03SVT* · 11-26-2005, 07:38 AM

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.
