Well everyone, I need some advice on my wheel and tire combo. I've written before but haven't got too many responses so please chime in. The 2 choices are:

a) 18x9 Bullits with 275/40/18's or

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img] 18x9 F / 18x10 R with 255/45/18 and 285/40/18's

How do these combo's handle?

And I'd like to lower the car about an inch in the near future. Would the 275/40/18's in front rub?

Thanks

George

Second rim combo for sure. Get some wider tires for the 18x10's though. I've got 305/35/18's and they look awesome.

Do you have any pics of your rim and tire combo? I just bought 285/40/18s for my 18x10s. I am curious as to how the 305s look...

Sweet! I want to see too! The 305's don't rub? Is your Stang lowered?

Yes it has BMR lowering springs. 1.25" front, 1.75" rear. The fronts are 255's on 18x9's.

I think the Roush stage 2 is lowered about 1 inch and has 275/40/18 all 'round
