Tires finally came in (BFG KDW 255/45 18).

Thanks to kc for getting the wheels to me so quickly.

The wider tires really make a big difference in handling... and I love the tread on the BFGs.

Here are some "before" and "after" pics (sorry about the bad lighting in a few of them):

Rmac,

That looks really really good.

I gotta get bigger rims and tires.

They look great, RMac I was a little disappointed they aren't coming totally polished, but have to admit they still look hot!

 

Let me just say that is one sweet setup. Looks GREAT!

Those are the tires I'm putting on my 18" fans after I lay waste to the ones Ford gives us. :w00t:

 

Thanks for posting, now I have an idea how mine will look.

With a little suspension drop:

 

I'm torn between lowering it first, or getting the stripes (bright silver Shelby-style, to match the painted fanblades). Tough choice.

 

You can't lose either way. I'd go with suspension first. Those rims and a little drop look I'd be torn between a moderate drop(Steeda) or the Eibach.

 

i would stripe it first...those wheels look pretty good..ohh and by the way post 500 woooooooh

 

Aye Carumba! What a Difference! Thanks for The Detailed Pics! Now a Lot of People will Know How Good These Look!

Thanks!

I can't really tell how wide those are in comparison, but does anyone have the default tire size info for the gt mustang? I have the same rims in the stock photo. Wonder if it is worth going up?

 

The stock tires are 235/55/17. These are 255/45/18.

Not sure what the width of the stock wheels were - these wheels are 18x8.5.

wow..they look realy nice..im sure much nicer in person

 

those are hot... no doubt... I cant wait to see them on my 06...

 

The fanblades make an amazing difference on the '05.

I suggest you lower the car, the lower profile tire tends to make the wheel gap look bigger.
