I ordered 4 18x10 rims from AM because they were such a Good deal. Well I wasn't thinking about how they would fit. Will 18x10 rims fit the front without rubbing and no spacers or anything like that. I might have to order 4 18x9 and just put the rims on both mustangs. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

I ordered 4 10 x 18 rims from AM. Black Bullets and put 295/30/18 Hoosier A6's on them. I needed to add a 1/4" spacer on the front and for safety reasons, APR 3" studs because I could only get 3 or 4 turns on the old studs. I think my offset was 45mm on the rims. Hope this helps.

Are you happy with how it looks? Can you send me a picture of the front to see how much it sticks out?

265s in front and 285s in rear.

I just read the original post again where he ordered 4 18x10s. It's going to look hideous up front. No offense.

Yes same as what the OP purchased. Bullitt rims except 18x9 in front. My rears are just poking slightly.

Well I got my final SCCA autocross this weekend, so when I install my racing set up this Saturday I will post some pictures. I do run 295/30/18 Hoosiers A6's all the way around for traction. Also I get as much camber as I can to help in the tight corners. Also change brake pads up front to a Hawk racing compound.
