Alright, I'm calling out to all of you GT owners out there that are sporting 18" rims to come forth and post some pics of your rides with tires mounted. I'm looking to put more rubber to the ground for my recently blown GT....so I'd like to get a good look at what different size tires look like on our cars. Preferably, I'd like pics of the side and rear profile of the wheels on the car. I'm on the fence between 255/45's and 275/40's.

Also, give some feedback on how well your choice of tires/rims is holding up. Thanks everyone.

And sorry for doing yet another rim/tire thread........but my aim here is to create a photo gallery of tire/rim combos for everyone to make decisions based on, rather than just another "What tire should I put on this rim?" thread. I think I can make up my own mind on this one. I just want a good look at how certain options will look once on the car, so I can make an informed decision.

Where did you guys get the 18x9 deep dish bullitt wheels?

viking396

I got the "free tires for life" deal with my Mustang, while this is great for my wifes Mustang which will need tires maybe every three years or so I don't want to keep mine let alone keep getting them. I know, sucks to be me right?

Anyway how do you like the tires you chose, do they ride better than the rocks that come installed on the Fanblades?

Got mine from Discount Tire $155ea. Mustang Tuning sells the same ones.

Thanks guys....keep'em coming. Hey Stoener and Munson, you guys have the exact tires I'm thinking of going with: Goodyear Eagle F1 255/45/18's. Now I just need to see some 275's to see if they fill out the rear wheelwell the way I'd like without bumping out too much.
BTW, those are some monster tires you have on the back of that machine BlackPhanton. Seriously mean look.

Very good thread, Stoenr I might just keep my fanblades after seeing your pics. Although munson makes me want to get the black dd bullitts that I planned on purchasing. I can't wait to see more pictures.

By the way, munsun, do all Discount Tires carry them because I would definately take a visit.
