Don't feel like the lone ranger man. I feel your pain. check out the other post going about how wide of a tire can fit on an 18x10'' rim.

You're also going to want (need) relocation brackets, LCA's to help with traction.

285 or 295 tires will help.

LCAs will help. You don't need relocation brackets unless you are lowered.

If nothing else, at least you've proven the superiority of a good custom tune over the Ford Racing setup.

I've "heard" that even if you're not lowered the relocate brackets will help, maybe even more. It's about the rear end twist under power.

Go back to stock gears, Thats why the GT500 has 3.31 gears, With 3.73 the KR has no traction either, thats why the 0-60 is the same as the stock GT500
