I LOVE those wheels. Eventually I'm going to get a set for myself.

I'm going to do staggered width, and height. I'm going to run 18's in front and 19's in back. Give it more of that old school nose down top fuel look

Solid plan, those are nice.

One thing comes to mind looking at that combo...are you on a stock suspension?
The rear tires (275/40/18) are gonna have alot of fender gap if you are not lowered...just thought I would throw that out there.
I would opt for a 285/40/18, 275/45/18, or the biggest and baddest of them all...295/45/18

295/45/18 for sure. I love meaty rear tires. I've got 275/45/18 on mine, only because my stockers aren't wide enough for 295's.

Those are the wheels I got and I love them! But I didn't order the combo. As many have said, the 275/40/18 rears are shorter than the front tires in the combo, so you will have more wheel well gap than you did with stock wheels (looks funny to me).

You don't have to buy the tires from AM. I ending up buying the wheels (18x9s front and 19x10s rear) from AM, but I bought my tires from the Tire Rack. Since I wanted to stagger rim diameter and widths, I had to go to the Tire Rack if I wanted the same brand and model tire front and back. I went with 255/45/18s up front and 275/40/19s out back. I couldn't be happier, especially riding on the stock springs.

Solid plan if you plan to stay on stock springs going with the 19" on the rear.
I ordered my wheels from AM with the 255/45/18's Nitto's mounted up front and then ordered the 295/45/18's from discount tire and had them mounted locally.
CMON 6-25!!!!

+1 to the fender gap, my brother on this 2010 has 275/40/18 around and has pretty good fender gap due to the lower profile tire.

And of course 295/45/18s!


That is a nice wheel/tire combo though.

yea the wheels are very cool. and what i like most is that they have the black interior wall so it kind of blends with my black stang.

iAerials

yes im on stock susp. and i like that idea though. do you have any certain tire brands you like most. i have pirellis on and im getting those damn sidewall cracks.
