95 stang GT: what size tires should i go with for my 18's?
#11
Hope this helps...............
The stock wheels on our 94-95 gt cars (I own a 95 gt) are 17x8, with a tire size of 245/45r17.
On 18x9 f & 18x10r rims which are staggered, I would suggest these tire sizes:
F- 255/40r18
R- 295/35r18
I have a tire size calculator program on my computer, these would be a great match...here is comparison of stock size tires to the new tire sizes:

I would agree with those recommendations, especially the front. On a 94-98, anything wider than a 255 on the front is going to look too big, and end up throwing stones and crap on the front fender and door ... a buddy of mine ran in to that with 275/40/17 on 9" wheels all around on his 95.
