Hey guys whatsup i'm new here and recently bought an 05' Mustang GT Black with a 5-speed...I don't know much about Mustangs as the car i had before this was an 87 camaro. I'm Hoping to learn as much as i can and get as much info in building an awesome mustang!

I have been searching around and found some good info but was wondering if 18x10 and 18x9 black bullit rims from Mustang Tuning would fit my car. I also was wondering if i could do a 295 tire in the back and a 255 tire in the front?

any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Nick

 

yes to all your questions.
I am running 285/49/18 & 255/40/18 BFGs
The tire wheel combo you want are purrrfect for the new Mustangs.
Look it up... Some are even running up to a 315 rear with a few mods.
Good luck welcome and keep asking questions

 

Thats the same setup im going for

 

The 255 on a 18x9 will definitly fit up front. Im running 255/45/18 on all fours.

 

295/45/18 rear, 255/45/18 front

Thats the set up I'm going with because it looks perfect for this car

 

Here you a preview

 

you could run the 18x10s up front also, i am running 18x10s all around with 285/40/18s front and back, no rub or scrub.

 

Another sample of the set up you are talking about. 255/45 front 285 40 rear. This combo is almost identical to stock 17" 235/55s in regards to overall diameter (won't jack up your speedo and such).

 

Here you go: 18 by 9s and 18 by 10s - Falken 255s up front, and 295s out back

 

Sweet car dude. How do the 295's grip. Just got tuned by Kevin at Diablo last night. Car put down 480rwhp. Needless to say the 255's arent cutting ti........

 

I love the teal accents on the rear bumper

 

Wow beautiful cars! thanks for the info guys ill post pics as soon as i buy them and put these baddd beauties on!


thanks again!,
Nick

 

SORRY for the delay man - I forgot to tag this thread for email notifications

Well I am still up in the air right now about getting the Falkens again - first time driving an S/C car so I believe ANYONE will have probs when you drop the hammer, 295s or not. They seem to grip well but I keep gauging them against the Nitto 555s I had on my previous 05 whichI really liked - then again, I was N/A back then so you can't make an even comparison....

I mean I DO really dig them and the size and look are sweet - I am just thinking about getting something with a higher tread rating (these are 200) as they look like you will burn through them decently fast if you haze the rubber all the time.

Where you at in South Florida? I am contemplating getting my 06 custom tuned by D'agostino Racing as I have heard good things about them and they are only about 40 minutes south of me.
