Default Need some help with Tires

I'm planning on buying some 18" deep dish bullit rims for my stang. My question is how would 18x9's on front and 18x10's in the back sound like?

As for tires I guess the best fitment would be 255/45-18 on front and 275/40-18 on back.

Any help will be appreciated.

There are many of us running the 18x10 & 18x8 deep dish bullits. Tires are a personal choice; you can either runlowering springs and low profile tires like most on here or you can run or you can keep your stock springs and go with a taller tire like I did in order to get the old school raked affect. Personally I like my look the best, but the lowered stangs look good to, like I said its all about personal tastes.

fyi i'm running Nitto555's 255/45/18's front and 295/45/18's rear. fI you're going to go with the lowered look I recommend a different front tire than what you listed; something with a shorter sidewall, like a 40 series.

This is mine...

Personally I think 275 might be a bit small out back mine are 9.5 wide and the 295 out back fit absolutly perfect and from the back very intimidating.(much better than I ever imagined) I have noticed it is a bit slower now with the extra rotational mass. So if anyone has some stock rims they want to unload I just need 2 of the 17" premium version.

How does 305/35-18 sounds like for the rear?

or what about 315's in the rear? LOL anyway your set up sounds fine and if the staggered look is what you want you may want to go bigger in the back like 285 or 295

I like joes response. Possibly even a little wider like lynwood said 305/35 on the 10" wheel
275's are dropping to a smaller diameter tire, creating even more wheel well gap, and thats puke!
