Default Tires + Costs

Im completely torn at this point between rims or full exhaust. I am going to do both eventually, and I know they will cost relatively around the same price. However, I have a good idea of what my exhaust will cost me, but I need to get a good idea of what the rims + tires will cost.

I know cost varies from rim to rim, but in the end I will be going with 18' wheels + tires.
My car is going to be based on show, so I don't need anything huge like race tires or nothing, just something similar to stock or whatever looks good.

I need you guys to give me a good tire BRAND, SIZE and approximate COST for a set of 4 tires for potential 18' wheels.
Links would be awesome too!

Thanks again guys.

so unless you are buying headers then you won't reach that amount on exhaust

Yea I would be buying headers with my exhaust. So it would virtually cost the same thing.

How much were the tires along though? Thats what Im really trying to get at...

Nobody friggin wanted it, I had to get rid of it. I wasn't sure if I was going to tell you guys since anyone without a mustang is the anti-christ...hahaha.

I got myself a GMC Yukon GT.

So technically, I still own a GT
