Well as it looks like I am set on going 18 by 9 for my new Pony's wheels (probably the Milie Miglias), I wanna put as fat a meat on there as possible.

The gray GT I posted the pics of in my wheel thread has 275/45/18 by Michelin on there. Was thinking about BF Goodys in that or maybe Nittos.

How 'big' can I go?......

From what I've gathered, you can go to 285's. A couple of people have posted that 295's rub.

Dave - I have 18x9.5's and I ran 275/40's on all four corners. No troubles at all. They are exactly 27" high. Check out my mustang page to get a look.

I tried 255/45's first and I hated them because the side wall tread was bulging out.

Good Luck_Jay

I love the look of 255/45's on my 18 X 9's! Was exactly what I was shooting for.
