Smile Got my wheels on!

Mustang Tuning chrome bullitts. 18x9's with 245/40's up front and 18x10's with 275/40's out back. Question, what have people been setting the tire pressure to? This is the first set of low profile tires I've owned so I'm not sure if and how much it should change from factory recommendations. So what is everyone using?

TIA

Jason

Oh yeah, pics to come.

You have 275 on the back 10" rim? How does that look...I have 275 on a 9" and I already curb rash on 2 of them because the tires juuuust dont stick out far enough.

Here's a few pics for ya. She's dirty and wet, but she still looks good.

As for the 275's, I wouldn't go any smaller on a 10" rim. I'll prob go with 295's next time but I was working with a budget this time around. I also wouldn't go smaller than 245's on a 9" rim. I'll get 255's next time. Overall I'm thrilled though. I've gotten nothing but compliments so far, except my sis-in-law thinks they're .

Dropping it was to be my next project. Unfortunately, a racoon changed my plans. Underside of the front bumber cracked, bracket holding on left turn signal broken.

Thankfully, I was able to zip tie the turn signal in place, you'd have to know what to look for to see that it isn't quite as snug with the bumper as it should be.

So, looks like a bumper replacement will come first. I was thinking about aftermarket but honestly think it would look terrible if I just did the bumper and not a complete kit. Cervinis is the only one I really cared for but I like the stock grille, not the fogs in the bottom and there's still the problem of rockers and rear valance. We'll see. Maybe if I finally get the pay raise I've been looking for

I'd love to do the mirrors but that pesky budget keeps getting in the way. Only reason I got the wheels was I needed new tires anyways. Also need to tint. All in good time. Thanks for the comments all.

Wheels look good. I plan on 285s in the back, but whatever. As for tire pressure, go with what is marked on the side of the tire.
Probably 35-40psi?!?
