Hey all. I finally got my wheels from Mustangtuning and I am looking at 295/45/18's rear and 255/45/18's front. Nitto 555. Think they will fit the rear OK? Thanks for any help.

If your talking about the 18x9 and 10 Deep Bullitts, then yes your fine. I think 295 is recommended for 9.5 to 11.0 wheels..

A 295/45 will be 1 inch too tall on the rear. If you can find a 295/40, that will be almost dead on the stock diameter. That will keep your speedometer accurate. That will also place you within the 10% difference to keep your ABS from going funky.

Thanks for the responses . Yes, those are the wheels. I should be able to adjust with my SCT2 for the different size. I just don't want to go to low in the sidewall. Kind of want to keep the wheel well full of tire.

Well, if you can adjust, then go for it. It'll mean more meat for the rear anyway. May I suggest getting 4.10's or 4.30's to compensate for the gearing change, though. It may end up being like changing your rear to a 3.23 or something - I don't know exactly how to do the math, but you get the idea.

You must be reading my mind . 410's are in my future.
