I wonder what they're going to do? I bet they'll actually soften the suspension some, as the 18's have shorter sidewalls.

The roads are horrible up here, I'm sticking w/the 17's and some 255's...

It's in the press release:

In the 2006 model year, Mustang GT also will have two new 18-inch wheel and tire combinations – the largest tires ever fitted to a production V-8 Mustang since the 2000 SVT Cobra R model – and unique suspension tuning calibrated to the larger treads. Mustang GT customers will be able to choose from four wheel- and -tire combinations.
