Front tires may look a little stretched, but will fit. You can go larger in the rear, 295's are a perfect fit, 315's will also fit.
If you go with a 315/35 in the back you will need a 245/45 or a 275/40 in the front to keep the same amount of revolutions per mile so your ABS doesn't activate premature. I called the dealership on that one. And I would like to see everyone that says to get the 315's on the rear of an 18" rim to fork up some money cause they cost like $400 a tire

Oh? I've got a 265/35-18 up front and a 295/35-18 in the back... clearly a different diameter, and I have no issues with my ABS.

I had to fork over quite a bit for my tires, which is why I said when it comes time for me to get new tires, I'm getting new 17" saleens instead and just putting these 18" saleens up on ebay for ~100 a piece, maybe less. When I bought the wheel/tire combo, it was about $600 total for the wheels, and $1400 total for the tires.

I was first going to get them on eBay, $120 a piece... but that would require shipping. AT THE TIME mustang tuning had free shipping on orders over $200... The wheels were 145 for the 18x9's and a little more for the 18x10's... and because it was free shipping, it came out to be cheaper... right around $600 to my door
