GT4 Wheels on my stang?
I need new tires, but if I buy Pirelli replacements, then I'm going to be stuck with the stock wheels for another 35k miles! I'm thinking of going with a 18x9 and 18x10 setup so I can get some decent looking wheels and some beefier tires.
How do you think these would look? 559$ shipped from CC which is definitly in budget

I gotta tell ya...My 'stang is black (08 GT/CS) and came stock with 18 x 8-1/2's and I can't install fatter rubber than 255/45's due to wheel width. I've been wanting to get fatter rubber but coudn't come to terms with which rims to buy to accommodate the new fatter tires....WOW...I'm in love...those are the ones. Thanks for inadvertently giving me advise, so yeah, I think they look great!!!

I always liked the GT4's. And I think the contrast with your Screamin' Yellow would look great. 255's up front and 285's or 295's out back, IMO. Sweet.
And a GOOD all-season, ultra super-duper hi performance tire in lieu of a summer only, unless you garage the Stang for the winter. I'm originally from PA and you'll have your hands full in that cold weather with a summer-only tire.

Yep, yep. Nothing hotter than black centers with a polished lip on yellow. Great contrast, racey and mean...do the deal! Good luck with CC bro, personally I would pay more and order them from AM or OE. They seem to review much better on the forum.
Still tryin to make up my mind on the rears myself...285 or 295?

Thanks for all the good feedback guys! I was anticipating someone saying that they are poor quality or something of that sort because of the cheap price.
I'm planning on going no bigger than a 245 or 255 up front, whatever works out to a 27" diameter or a bit smaller.
Shooting for the 285-305 range for the rear, ultra supreme deluxer summer tires, just depends on what I can find thats available and not cost an arm. Currently live in the snowy mountains, but moving to SW Fla this year.
