Default Need some input...

I am looking for a set of rims and nice tires for the spring-fall months for my 2013 V6, I was wondering if anyone has any input on what size rims/tires set-up will not scrape. I am looking at 19" rims or so.

Thanks

American Muscle or Cruizin Concepts have nice wheel packages. Keep in mind 19" tires will be a little more expensive and the selection may not be as plentiful as other sizes. ;-)

What do you mean by won't scrape? Like rub the inside fender? rub during turning?.. Is your car lowered?.. There are many options of 19s, just about any mustang wheel package that is 19 will work. But if your car isn't lowered it probably wont look too good. What are you looking to spend.

Thanks for all of the replies, and yes when I said scrape you are correct on all of it (during turning and on the inside), and no it isnt lowered. Also, I am looking to spend around 1500-1800 on a wheel/tire package.

Check those ones, they are sick! Probably not everyone's taste but I'd love to see the look on my Stang.

Personally would never get an Ebay rim but to each their own...

OP, you can get a wide variety of 19s and not have any problems as long as the backspacing keeps it from being to "sunken in" to the wheel well or sticking out too far beyond the fender. I would stick with 19x9 in the front and 19x10 in the rear, although you could get x9 or x10 on all four and still not have problems. Style are what you should be looking at as well as quality right now. Pretty much if you're on a reputable site, anything that is sold for your year of car will work assuming you don't have a big brake kit and such..
