OK,
IF you are going to repaint, and money isn't much of a hinderance, go with poly-urethane base/clear. It's more expensive, but worth every cent. I used to know a guy who had his Grand National repainted (it had bad paint from the factory) using it, it was unbelievably deep in shine and depth and it is extremely hard so it resists stone chips. Definitely what I will use if and when my Mustang ever gets re-painted.

You got a good plan going!
I'm running 18X9 18 X10 rims with 265/35 18 up front,and 285/35/18 out back,but plan on going to 305/35/18 Nitto Drag's out back when the funds allow.The 285's are kinda narrow,most guys run 295/35/18 or 305/35/18 out back.Deepends on the tire manufacture for either of those two sizes.

on another note. was kinda just surfin around for different wheel sizes, and i'm not too sure i wanna go with the FR500's anymore. prob still will. but i saw that american muscle sells replica 2010 GT500 wheels in 18x9, and 18x10... best part: they also come in black
