Ok i plan on getting the Black w/ polished lip billet wheels in the next 2 weeks and im having trouble with wheel sizes and which tires to use. For the front i want to get 17x8 or 17x9 with a good street tire. For the back i want the 17x10.5 deep dish and I plan on putting a Nitto drag radial on there like the 555r or using street tires. I could use my stock 17x8 wheels for slicks/drag radials. Any opinions on what i should do for tire size etc.? Also will the wider rim make the car slower or no?

Thanks!

17x9 with a 275/40 and 17x10.5 with a 315/35

nitto nt555 for the front and nitto nt555r drag radial for the rear

You know where i cacn get the cheapest price? So far for the nitto tires mentioned above and the rims it comes out to about $1200. I am looking at the tires on www.discounttiredirect.com. And the rims are on www.wheelHQ.com

Why stick with the stock 17's? You should at least get an 18.

[05mustang_kb_charged]

that is probably the cheapest you will find tires, and 17" tires are the cheapest if you go 18" will cost somemore money

There isn't much of a differance in tire price between 17's-20's.

Well your right I was thinking about it, but im trying to keep the cost low since im a broke college student and the tires are cheaper for 17's when i need them. I dont maybe ill get an 18. I was just looking and i cant find a non-deep dish wheel in 18x9 for the front.

I know 20 inch nitto's at discount tire are only $150, so i would think that 18's would be even cheaper. Don't choose your rims and tires by price... You will regret it later. I found out the hard way.

i was thinking of getting 18's bc of price, but after thinking about it i didnt want to get the 18's then later think what if i got the 20's, so i just ordered the shelby razors 20's and Falken tires, and hopefully get them in a week or so.

i bought my konig's from www.buywheelsonline.com and saved about $400 compared to one of the major tire/wheels shops. had no issues with them at all.

I would like to know where you can get 17x10 wheels with the correct offset for our cars. I have not been able to find them

i have the shelby torque thrust 20"s and their nice they really fill up the wheel well. The only downside is it seems to make my ride suffer a little bit but i'd still say go for the 20's they look realy nice
