American Muscle wheels
I am going to buy some bullitt rims from American muscle and wanted to get your input on wheel sizes. I am doing 18's for sure but i am not sure if i want 10" or 9" for the rear wheels. My car is lowered on eibach sport kit, and I dont want the wheels to rub over bumps. I really want to know how well the 9" rims with 255 tires fill the back wheel well. what do you all think?

RE: American Muscle wheels
You didn't mention what year Stang you have, so will assume an S197. Either way, 10"s will fit in rear without rubbing and with the Eibach Sport drop. 18"s will have plenty of clearance, so go with 10"s and go 295's to fill the well up nicely.If you are '99-'04, you will need to stay 30 series to avoid rubbing. Can easily go with 40 series, if you wanted to on an S197.

RE: American Muscle wheels
you can fit 18x10s out back no problem lowered. pretty sure you they fit up front too. Roush uses 18x10's all the way around and their cars are lowered.
if you for sure want a staggered setup, i'd get 18x10 with a 295 width out back and 18x9 with 255 in front, 265 if you want.

Roush runs 9" front, 10" rear.
I temporarily installed my Saleen 10"s up front just to see if it would rub. I drove around the parking lot, and alas, did not hit on max turn of wheels. I did not go over 1 MPH and certainly hit no bumps, but would be extremely surprised if it did not hit during everyday driving.
