Default Wheels

So I need a little more help guys...

I just bought my first Mustang last week

'97 Cobra

I want to put 18" Cobra R wheels (chrome) on it. I want more of a deep dish look at least on the back and as wide of a tire as I can get on it w/o major mods.

Any input would be much appreciated !
