Default Ordering rims and tires today Need Help!

I am ordering 18" cobra r deep dish black w/ machine lip. I have decided to get 305/45 nitto drag radials for the back.

My question is what size tires should I get for the front and what is a good brand that is affordable?

I have around $1300 to spend.

4 Rims- $590 w/ shipping
2 Nitto drag radials- 521 w/ shipping

SO I have around 200 left can I get decent front tires for 200? If i have to i can spend a little more but would like to stay as close to $1300 as I can.

You didn't mention the width of your wheels. 305's will require a pretty wide rim. And don'tforget tomind the offset. 305's and the incorrect offset = trouble.

I like the look of stanmans car,https://mustangforums.com/forum/memb...installed.html, it gives it the oldschool muscle car look. That is one of the reasons I am looking for 305/45/18 and 275/40/18.
