tire size
 
i was thinkin it be cool for me to put a set of bullets on when the $$ rolls in... i'm gonna get the regular 17"... nothing special...

what are the best size tires?

i see similar questions here except i dont want any DR's or super fancy shmancy tires...

Are these for the stock ford bullets the 17x8 ones? if so 245/45/17 up front and 275/40/17 out back for a meaty look and better traction out back.

Now if you just want cheap good performance tires get hankook or kuhmos those are your best bet tirerack.com and tires.com carry them for cheap.

oh i thought you were going ot get stock ford bullet rims which are 17x8 those are all 17x9 if you dont get DD or a 10 non dd.

and yeah i would still use 275 out back maybe a bit bigger if you like.

255's in the front and 285's in the back are a nice look if you are sticking with 17X9 on all four corners. That will give you more of an off-set. But to be honest, I think I would just run 275's all the way around.

Yep with 17x9 all the way around I would go with 275/40/17's so you could rotate them and make your tires last longer.

tires can last long?

i like the staggered tire look, it has a meaner look to it but thats just me.

True.I like that look too.But it's an option :)
