That cobra is pretty sexy though (original OP picture). Something about that new edge body style rear end just ties it all together. Odd enough.. the more I see that body style, the more I like it. Never been inside a new edge though.

 

295's with a GT/CS rear looks sexy as hell. Hey wait I just got my CS rear installed.... what gears should I be running on an auto v6 with 295's in the rear?

 

+1...I'm pretty sure my next stang's going to be a new edge.

 

no rear shots but this guy is running 305's in the rear

Alright thanks for all your help guys!!!

 

I'm running 305 rears on my new wheels, plenty of room as long as you're running the right offset wheel. The catch you have to watch out for is that one company's 305 could be different width wise from another company's 305. So one could fit and another may not.

For example, just finding a couple of different 275-40-18's (my front tire size) here's what I found...

Bridgestone RE960 - 9.2" tread width
Continental Etreme Contact - 10" tread width
Hankook Ventus V4 - 9.4" tread width

Three brands, three different widths, kinda weird they're not all uniform. In this case you could be running the Bridgestone and have plenty of room then someone else could run the Continental and rub. Both are the technically the same size but in reality they're not. Just a heads up when shopping tires.

Anyway I'll have to get a shot from the back of my car, see the big fatty rears

 

You think my car is going to underperform with 305's though?

 

erm, wow, resurecting your own thread from april of last year :P

 

Doubt you'll notice much difference really.

 

Lol...now that's what I call contemplating.
More rubber = more weight on the driveline bro, but it would not be measurable with the seat of the pants gauge. Might hurt you alittle with a stopwatch, but it might help once more power is added down the road and the increase in grip becomes beneficial. Until then it's looks cool...and cool is the rule!
