I'll get the 05's tomorrow when I can refer to my post-it note on what the correct sizes for those 18's and 20's are.

on the 18x10's I thought the best size was 295/35/18s, I could be wrong, but that's what I heard.

Yea 295/35/18's are the most common.The 315/30/18's are all DR's and cost around $300+.

what is the biggest tire you can run on a 93 gt mustang with FACTORY 16 INCH PONY WHEELS? thanks.

whitethunder46 · 02-11-2006, 06:03 PM

Yea, I too definately say that 295/35/18 is best for a 18x10. One it's safer if you get stuck in hard cornering and two tires are MUCH more easier to find in that size.

I would make the list that was all the acceptable size tires for each size rim.

yep 315 means it's wider...the 35 means its not gonna be as tall as the 55 series...so you should be good, and you'll get 3 fingers on the back w/ the 315's

here's some pics of my cars tires.

I have the 315/35/17's on the back, 275/40/17's on the front w/ an Eibach Sportline Lowering Spring Kit.

Hey I just ordered and received 18x9 rims with a 255/45 tire size do you think these are going to rub in the front? I have a 2005

Dave04Mustang · 04-02-2008, 08:30 AM

StangGT804 · 05-06-2008, 09:31 PM

295 Might be a little wide for a 9.5 rim but it can probably be done, 285 is safe, 295 check the manufacturer's specs for suggested rim width.
