Default Deep Dish Black Bullitt on 2000 V6 Mustang

Will 18x10 Black Deep Dish Bullitt Wheels and Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z Tire (315/35-17) tires fit on a 2000 V6 Mustang? Also, if it does fit, I've been told that it will confuse the ABS. Is this true? I already have black bullitt on the front. I am deployed in Iraq so I can't check the details for sure, but my mom says the front tire is 245 45 Zr17. I'd call and ask a rep at AM, but I don't have phone service here.

Thanks!

OK do you have 18x10's or are they 17's? Because you mention 2 different items here and then a tire size of 17" diameter.

but in all essence it shouldnt matter or mess with ABS or anything on your model, I dont believe until 2005 they had sensors around the wheels/brake area.

On my 2004 I run 17x9 ( 245x40's ) up front and 17x10.5 ( 315x35x17) in the back with no problems.

And thanks for doing what you do for keeping us protected here in the states.

I should also mention that my car is on a lowering kit. Will this affect it?

I have those tires except not DD and have had no problems whatsoever. Although i highly recomend going to 18x10s or so, it just seems to work better imo. The lowering kit shouldnt affect it unless you put a hella drop, and the only way it really would is on your back fenders jutting out because of the 10.5 width.

As long as the tires total height remains close to factory it doesn't matter what you run tire or rim size wise front or back.

Thanks for all the replies.

I'm pretty sure the kit I have is Eibach Sportline
http://eibach.com/cgi-bin/htmlos.exe...8452700009305?

According to their website:
Front 1.7 Rear 1.5

I know it doesn't like speed bumps unless I go slow.
