95 stang GT: what size tires should i go with for my 18's?
As the topic said, Im debating (lacking in knowledge) on what size tires to go with, I have a 95 stang GT, and i bought a set of 18" Cobra wheels, the rears are 10" wide and the fronts are 9" wide. . . .

Back 275-295 fronts 255-275. Mind you that's just me. More replies to follow I'm sure.:tup
|
so if i went with 265 for the front and 295 for the rear should i go with 40's for the front and 35's for the rear, would that keep me roughly the same diameter?

i have 235 45 17`s on my front and 255 40 17`s on the rear,... wider rear wheel lower profile |
Keep in mind that the wheel wells are much larger then a fox. Is the car lowered?
|
^^^^^good call^^^^^:tup

thanks guys, my car is not lowered, yet. I think i may do it this summer, undecided yet. who here has a 94-98 stang with 18's and what are you running for rubber??
|
Most people either run the 18" Cobra's, or the 18" Saleen's...rubber size I can't answer that sorry, im not a tire shop :)

With 18's,you want to run 35 series.This way you will keep with the same overall tire radius,plus some sort of comfort at the same time.
You would be safe with a 285 out back for sure,295's will be close. for the front,anywhere from 245 to 275. On other popular boards i go too,the above is the average to what guys are running for rubber on 18's.:tup |
If i went 285/35/18 for the rear and 275/35/18 for the front the radius on the fronts will be smaller then the rears, shouldnt i go with a 275/40/ for the front, my wheels are staggered too, my fronts are 9" wide with a 1" lip and the rears are 10" wide with a 3" lip i believe. . .
Thanks guys |
