Hey man, if everyone says it...it is true.lol

V6 with 10" wheels would be alot of extra rotational weight, so I would pass.
A set of gt500 9.5's would be my choice with a 275 tire.

Jeremy,

We don't recommend the usage of the 18x10's up front. Mainly because you could run into rubbing issues at full turn or rubbing just in general. Like these guys said you could most likely get away with the fitment however you will most likely experience some tramline.

If you don't want to go staggered I would think about an 18x9 set up all the way around. That will allow you to run a 255/275 all the way around with no worries!

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions! Our Mustang Experts are here Monday-Friday from 9AM-9PM EST and Saturdays from 9AM-5:30PM EST. If you want to hit them up, their number is 866.727.1266.

For what its worth, I run 275's up front. About 5 years now @ 70 miles a day. No issues whatsoever. Maybe it just comes down to the roads where you live.

It's going to look like the flintstones car. Do you really want to risk rubbing a hole in your sidewall?

i think the 2013 dodge vipers have 295 up front, 355's or larger out back

i have 255s front, 295 rear

next time i get tires may go with 28 inch tall 265's and 315 or 305's

Just found this...
https://www.vorshlag.com/forums/showthread.php?p=56908

Looks like 18 x 10 +42-43 is going to be perfect all around.

Now I just need to decide which wheels I like the best.
I guess I just like the "autocross" look.

Got the Vorshlag wheels on.

Only done about 150 miles, but I've felt absolutely no tramlining and no rubbing even at full lock and over big bumps. Front camber is around 1.7. Going back this week to even everything out and increase camber to 2.0

Wheels are 18x10 +43 and tires are 265/40 Yoko AD08's all around.

yep. 18x10 ftw. i bagged my stock 19x9 setup and mounted a set of conti dw 285/40R18 on sve drift wheels the day after i got my car. why anybody would want to run a staggered wheel/tire combo on a car with inherent understeer is beyond me. i guess people don't drive their cars as hard as some do and prefer "the look". to each their own

and as you've noted, i also have no tramlining issues (and there are RUTS up here in studded tire country), nor do i rub at full lock - granted, i'm still at stock ride height/camber. enjoy!
