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.

StangGT804 05-18-2005 09:22 AM

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?

Lances03SVT 05-18-2005 02:12 PM

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

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.

Shambles 05-20-2005 01:38 PM

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!

Lances03SVT 05-20-2005 01:41 PM

PSST..Blur Out Your Liscence Plate!

StangGT804 05-20-2005 02:38 PM

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

venom 05-20-2005 02:58 PM

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.

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 :)
