Which Ford specs? The FRPP catalogs list 17 x 8, 18 x 8.5, and 18 x 9.5, but there are no 18 x 8's.

GT500 take-offs are a rather easy solution, though.

Where can I find GT500 takeoff tires and rims combination's? Ebay can be a crap shoot sometimes

Do not get the gt500 tires if you get the rims. they are the worst tires ever. my dad has a gt500 and those goodyears have no traction and wear way to fast. many gt500 owners complain about the tires.

Question is .. Is there any tire that can hold the power these supercharged cars can deliver to the rear wheels other than a drag radial.
