Those are some sharp wheels. What widths are the tires?

I have 18x8.5 in the fronts with 18x10 in the rear. I believe you could run 18x10 for all four corners. Offset is +25 all the way around.

I'd stick to 17x8 or 17x9. Lots of tire options. Once you step up to major suspension work, then look at wider. I run 18x9 all around when I track the car (usually). Depending on how much tire I have left, I'll run 18x9/10 when needed. Not my first choice, though.

A 255/40 on a 17x8 or a 275/40 on a 17x9 make a good foot print for learning how to toss a Mustang around corners.
