I'm looking to buy the AMR wheels from American Muscle (RTR replicas) I'm the 18x9 and 18x10 and would run the 255/40/18 Nitto Invo up front, my question is well the 295/35/18's fit in back? I'm all stock spring with Koni shocks. Do I need spacers or roll the fenders to clear them? Thanks for the help.

 

Maybe 285/35/18
What does am recommend?

 

Might want to run 19's instead of 18's with the 255/40 and 295/35 combo since they are a bit short compared to the 27" dia tires Mustangs typically use.

With the number of people running 305mm section width tires, a 295mm tire shoudn't pose a problem (caveat: on a GT500 forum I read about clearence issues on a car that had been dropped quite a bit)

And if your playing with tire sizes, this will help determine the overall diameter;

section width x aspect ratio / 25.4 x 2 + rim diameter = overall diameter

the aspect ratio is expressed as a decimal number

ie: 295 x .35 / 25.4 x 2 +18 = 26.13 OD

Another factor to consider is load rating (something that never seems to come up in a discussion about tire sizes), you'll want to meet or exceed this value just in case you've loaded up with any combination of big fat drunk buddies or heavy chicks and decided to tackle your favorite on/off ramp or just go flying down the road.

An inadequate load rating could lead to a catastrophic tire failure, especially if your saving some money and decide to use any number silly tricks to eliminate the use of a tire pressure monitoring system.

 

Am dosent make the 19's in a staggered setup. Plus I like having more
Tire options with the 18's. AM comes with 255/45/18 front and 275/40/18 back. I just want something a little wider. Thanks for yalls help

 

My old setup, 295/40/18's on 18x10 bullitts, lowered on FRPP K springs

 

I'm running 295/35/20 in the rear lowered with Steeda sports and I have no clearance problem at all. In fact I like the way it really closes up the gap between the tire and fender ...

 

Yep, the 295/35/20 is going to be short 26.1", not fill the wheel well and mess with your effective gear ratio & speedo. When I had the 295/40/18 rears, I had 255/40/18 fronts which were basically the 26" and they looked small in the well. I run 27.6" all around now.

 

The 295/40's look great! But I don't think Nitto has them. The car well
Be lower if I run 295/35/18.

 

I assume you didn't actually mean a 20" rim , 295/35/20 is what I'm running and it's 28.13" tall and it does fill the wheel well. As for the gear ratio and speedo , that's no problem if you have a tuner ...

 

Mixing my old & new sizes.. yes I meant 295/35/18 is short. A tuner will fix your speedo yes, but not your effective final gear ratio itself.. this tire size as changing final drive ratio could be used to your advantage, or be detrimental.

 

We currently run the 19" x 8.5" and 19" x 9.5" Charcoal AMR Wheels on the AmericanMuscle.com 2012 Mustang GT Project Car, Project Blackout. We've got 285/35/19's in the back and 255/40/19's up front. I think it's a pretty aggressive stance.

 

that looks great

 

**** u chris... I love the look of the front of 2010+

And I have a 07 so thank you for reminding me of my bad decision :-(

 

Chris do you happen to have a picture (non photochopped) version of a car with the machined AMRs on it? I like the AMRs, but would like see a pic of them on a real car.

 

I thought about doing 19's but I think that would limit my tire choices, and cost would be higher. Anyone have a pic of the AMR wheels on a S197?
