Error404

I have the factory wheels, tires, suspension and brakes on my car, and I'm expecting at least a few grand in tax returns, and I have always wanted wider rear wheels & tires on my mustang.

What's the widest rear wheel and tire combo I can go with out sticking out the fender well, or rubbing anything? Do any companies make the factory style 5 spoke wheels in larger widths? I'd like to keep them 17 inch if Possible, but if I had to I could go up to 18s in the back, I don't think it would look to odd with slightly larger diameter wheels in the back? Or is that a no-no? (for safety and looks?)

I don't race or take hard turns, so grip isn't really my consern, just want a wider look.

I have the standard 5 spoke wheels like these:

I have bullet style rims wiht 295/45-18 on the back.. they fill the wheel wells nicely and don't rub (even when launching my car 2 feet in the air off of a big hump in the road) and I'm lowered on Eibach pro springs.

I think anything over 295 is going to start sticking outside the wheel well, and the price of tired past 295 starts to get crazy as well.

You can keep the 17's in the front if you want but for 2k you can get some nice rims and tires..

Is that on your 18x10s in your signature? Where did you get your wheels from, do you know if they make some that look the same (or very similar) to the stock wheels? I like the look of the stock wheels, just want them wider on the rear

Thanks for your reply!

06GTwJUICE

yes and Mustang tuneing is where i got them from. They do look similar to stock rims only black and deep dish rims all around.

I think somewhere i saw that the rims they have are close to the stock color but not a perfect match so it might look goofy.

Go for new shoes all around

Sure, I'd love to see a shot or two of them! I'm not really sure how wide 295 is, actually I'm not even sure how wide mine are right now!

Error404

anyone have rear pictures of 10 inch wide wheels, and 295's on the rear?

RandyB

Sure do. Hope this helps.

On a side note, I think I remember swapping 3D model pics of engines/hot-rods some time ago. Was that you?

Error404

those look nice Do you have a shot from directly in the back?

Not sure about the 3d pictures, I do alot of 3d work, but don't show it to often.

06GTwJUICE

Randy... thats a clean looking beast you have.

Thomas S

What wheels are those? They look sweet!

RandyB

Thanks. Unfortunately, no shots from the back.

You had some old hot rod models, a t-bucket maybe?

Here is one of mine:

RandyB

Thanks. Did you ever end up moving your P/S reservoir?

Jimp, they are ROH Drift Rs - 19x9F/19x10R.

Error404

Yes, I do A few from the 30s, and some motorcycles. I haven't had time to do any of that stuff for the past 3 years, because I have been working to much. The engine on my tudor here isn't quite as complete as yours, it's missing the pushrods, and valves. The motorcycle isn't quite finished either.

RandyB

Yes. That is nice for sure. I like the wrap on the motorcycle exhaust. Pretty detailed. I know what you mean, I don't get much time to do that stuff any more either. I know you from cgtalk I believe.

06GTwJUICE

No, the nitrous plate fit and the intake tube is just barely touching the p/s resevior.

I might still move it though.. I have the tubes and clamps but was having trouble finding the fittings locally.

305/45/18 will be even with the fender on a 10 wheeh and will work if the car is lowered like mine. 315/45/17 will also fit but would rub fender so I have been told. Ihave the 305s so i know they work.

Error404

Thanks Mongoose! Would it be to much trouble to request a picture from the rear, if you have one handy?

Error404

So I haven't had much luck finding 17x10 wheels in the factory style, but 17x9 has been no problem, easy to find. Would it be possible to put 295 or 305 tires on 17x9 wheels? (rear only) or will those tires to be to wide for wheels that are only 9 inches wide? I don't know much about wheels and tires, sorry.

I think I found some! they are 17x10.5 on the rear (I would only be getting the rears, unless they are somehow different looking than the fronts I have right now),

anyone ever ordered from these folks?

Anyone know if 17x10.5 with 305 tires would present a problem in the rear?

Error404

a little bump for the 17x10.5 with 305 tires. Anyone know if this combo will rub or cause problems when mounted on the rear?
