Default New to mustang furoms and I need Help

I bought some black bullitt rims, idk what year this rims where made or what car where they meant for. does that really matter? There for my 05 Mustang GT, the front size rims are 18x9 and the back once are 18x10 deep dish. I know the 275/35 tires fit nicely on the front but the back one i need help on. What's the biggest tires i could get them with out having problems at all?

NRL.... it does indeed mater what year your car is for proper fitment. They are typically broken up into several groups:

'79~'93 (4-lug)
'94~'98
'99~'04
'05~'09
'10+

There was a pretty sugnificant off-set change between '04 and '05 and, of course, 4-lug in the pre-'94 years. Any chance you can find out what year they were meant to fit?

As for tire sizes, your looking at a 275/305 max for a set of 9" & 10" wheels.

Thanks Jim and i envy your 2011 5.0 lol.

Thank you for responding my question Jazzer I think they were meant for 1999-2004 cause they came of from a 1999 mustang. I have already install the bullit rims into my car and It rides well. So far i had no probblem with anything...yet. I just need bigger tires lol
