Goodyear: 295/45/18 Rear 245/45/18 Front

I'll post some more when I get a chance to clean her up

 

Those 245's have an overall diameter of 26.68" (83.81" circumference) while the 295's have 28.45" OD (89.37" circumference). In addition, a 7.5" to 9" rim is recommended for the 245's while a 9.5" to 11" rim is recommended for the 295's. I hope that much difference in tire diameter doesn't cause havoc with ABS and TCS. I'll bet it looks great, though!

 

Rides real good

Rims are 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the back

It looks damn good in my opinion - I just ordered a 4" cowl hood and C Series bumper

 

Since your rear tires are taller, can you feel a slight difference in acceleration since your effective rear ratio is shorter/higher?

 

Looks like big azz fatties on the rear.(literally)

 

any problems with the 295's yet? the guy at my tire shop said i would have to roll my fenders? i said wtf does wider tires have to do wit rolling the fenders. i am looking to do the same tire size on a 18x10 fr500 rim in the back you didn't need to mod anything did you?

Thanks.

sweeet...in for the info..thinking about the same size rims and tires..you have to do any adjustments to the ECU for the odometer?

 

Tell that tire shop guy the fenders are already rolled...one of Fords better ideas.

 

NO Mods needed - just a bigger rim - I'm sure the speedo is a little off now also.

NO rubbing issues at all and I have a set of Eibach Springs on her also so she sits lower than stock. These tires look good guys, good aggressive stance.

Indiana roads suck - I had 235's on it and it was so rough all the time, I'd bottom out at the smallest bumps, now it sits up a bit higher and can take a little more. Rides so so good, I'm telling you. As far as acceleration goes, no big difference.

 

Here is a couple shots - same car - same tires - not lowered though - these are from a year or so ago - I'll post some more now that its lowered later.
