Default My Last Wheel Question

Well after thinking about it i decided not to go with 20's and to go with 18x9 on the front and 18x10 on the back (saleen rims). Can you guys give me a suggestion for both the front and back tires. Thanks again for all your knowledge and for answering all the damn questions ive had. Thanks again.

i would go with the 295/35 in the rear and the 265035 in the front. That is what the saleen carries and it looks clean as hell

315 are too big with 18 wheels. They will rub. The biggest you can go is a 305

I was thinking about the nitto drag 305/35/18 on the back and then the nitto extreme performance 265/35/18. This car is not a daily drive by the way. Also do you think i should go with the saleen or do you guys suggest something elese. Also will i lose alot of performance going with the 18's. Ive decided that i would rather have more go then show. (also save a good bit of money) Thanks again for the replys.

you can put 315 on a 17x10.5 but but depending on what suspension setup you have and what you want your car to look like you may have to do a little fenderwell work. But i have seen 19x11 with 315 on them. but i was not sure what he modified to make it fit. i think he had coil over and a different offset than what a reg stang has (35 offset)

the setup should not rub with the 295 in the rear and the 265 in the front. But the slns do only drop their stangs 1.2 in the front and 1.5 in the rear, not a full 2 all around. even if it does rub, all you gotta do is cut out some of the inside fenderwell. and it would only rub if yo are actually pulling the wheel all the way over
