Default couple wheel questions

im gettin new rims for the car im either going with black fr500s or black bullits. couple questions 1. can i get either of them in 17x8 deep dish? 2. should i do deep dish in the front and back if i can? 3. should i do 18x10 in the back or 17x10.5? im a little concerned that it makes the tires so much more expensive especially since im going with a street radial in the back. and also will i be good without spacers in the back with either a 305 or 315? if so what spacers do you guys recomend cause i had a bad experience with a certain spacer. other than that i think im all set haha

thanks
max

you can't have deep dish in the front only in the back. The diff between 17 and 18 in the rear is strictly on price whats your budget tires for an 18x10 are of course going to be more expensive than a 17x10.5. Good sizes for the rear for an 18x10 295/35/18 and then with a 17x10.5 315. In the front either get a 17x9 or 18x9

I know someone makes deep dish for the front, I have seen it done. I just cant remember where. it was here somewhere though I think.

mustang power that stang looks very nice my friend what size tires you got in the back?


i couldve sworn that i saw a picture of the lance guys cobra with a dd in front but that couldve just been a mistake i mad at a glance.

i think i want to stick witht the stock size up front i just wanted to know if i could do a dd cause i think that could look a little BA.

will i need spacers if i do the either big rims out back or will i be good?

your right I think this is what you remember: http://www.americanmuscle.com/verde-...set-94-04.html I remember someone on here talking about that once. I'm not sure about what he is looking for though since he says he wants the front only 8" wide.

yeah i want to keep them the stock sizes in front. thats one of my problems with going with the fr500s cause i can only get 17x9 for the front. ive decided not to go with an 18 in the back just for the fact of the cost now and in the long run since im gonna be runnin a street radial and goin to the track a lot this season i cant afford to be spending 500+ on 2 tires every couple of months.

im just gonna go with a 17x10.5 in the back with the dr i think it will give me the staggerd look im goin for. plus i might do h&r supersport springs as well to lower the car and fill up those wheel wells a little more.

my only concern now is the spacers in the back ive heard a few people had to run those. if i have to i dont mind cause they look a little BA but which ones do you recomend?
