I want to stick with 17's because the price for tires is gay for 18s.
There's a guy selling 17x8" and 17x10.5" Mach 1 replica wheels.
I just really think that since my car is a DD, not being able to rotate will really take it's toll quickly. Especially with the constant highway driving.

Idw about you, but my rear tires get bald with a quickness! I'd be changing tires every 4 months if I couldnt' rotate.

Those 10.5s are so tempting
They have some sort of DR on them too but it only has 30% tread left.

Yeah Matt just stick with 17's. Youll get better traction out of 17s than 18s because you have more tire flex. Ive been thinking about wheel spacers for mine too. . . Just to squat the car a little bit and improve my handling one point

I'm firm on getting 17s again IF I get new ones.
Just can't decide if I should go with 17x9" all around with like 265s or something
Or a spacer but the spacer seems ghettofied...having a thinner tire bulging out.

I'm doing this to my car when it comes back out next spring, and will be using these spacers: http://www.mustangwheelspacers.com/. My tires are still good, but I was going to get spacers and the widest tire I can find for my stock bullits in the rear, along with painting them a dark metalic charcoal color all the way around. Then when my fronts wear out, I'll have some back ups ready to slap on, and if I need to replace with new tires, it will probably only be the rear for a good while to come. That along with finally droping the rear an inch or so should have the vert looking preety mean for the season.

I rocked my spacers for a while. I loved them but 245's are for babies mommas! 315 or 335's FTW

How do you guys think the Mach would do withNitto 555s,275/40/17 all around?
I figured I wouldn't have a problem considering Nittos supposidly run small.
My car will also be lowered roughly 1.5" when I get my Vogtland springs put on.
