Biggie Size the Tires
#1
Looking to increase tire and wheel size to 275/35/18 on 2005 Mustang GT.. Anybody have any experience with up-sizing?
Have already installed new springs which lower the car 1 1/2".

Would 275/35-18 be smaller in diameter than the stock 235/55-17? Someone told me they would be and would have the effect of getting steeper differential gears.
I want to upgrade to bigger wheels/tires, but I don't want them to be smaller in diameter than the stock wheels/tires.
Thanks for the help.

Christopher,
These sizes in 18's will get you close to stock (27.18"):
235/50-18 @ 27.25"
255/45-18 @ 27.04"
265/45-18 @ 27.39"
285/40-18 @ 26.98"
295/40-18 @ 27.29"
I did a lot of research before I chose my tires.

f1-cobra, cool, thanks for that little chart, that is exactly what I was looking for.
That kinda sucks though. The only 275's in my price range are the ones that I mentioned...BFGoodrich GForce Sport 275/35-18 for only $159 each.
I think most other 275/??-18's are $200-$250...![Nonono](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/nonono.gif)
Anyone have any moderately priced suggestions for 275's or 285's?
