Default What can I expect after going to a 315x35x18?

I have a stock (suspension, not lowered) 2002 Mustang GT that I am currently running 275x40R17's on the back. I am wanting to put the FR500 18 inchers all the way around. With 245s on the front and 315s on the back. What can I expect as far as looks, performance, issues?

Does anyone have any picks with an 18 inch F500 mounted on their car?

What is the weight like on those wheels? 315's are huge and that is a huge rotational mass difference over your current size. Mine are only 17" but they are 315's in the back and they actually slowed me down a little compared to the stock 16x8's that came on the car. But braking and cornering should improve. I've seen a bullet with a set of the fr500's and they looked good. I don't think you should have any height issues to worry about. Also I'm not an expert on mustangs so I don't know what the wheelwell clearence is on them but my rims are like a 1/4 (can barely fit a finger between it) in away from the inner fender well and will scrub on my car when entering inclines at an angle. Hope this helps some.
