widest tires on s197 mustang

the black widow · August 31st, 2007, 08:24 PM

what the biggest possible fit without modifying the car? im thinking 305s on mine, at least. what is anyone else running? offset? backspacing? everything.
thanks

I think 315 are the max, but they will be sticking out of the fender a bit so you gotta keep the car from bottoming out. this is with 10 or 10.5" wide wheels though (not really sure I still have stock rims and tires), the stock rims can go up to 275 I think.

you can fit a 335/30 nitto DR on a 10.5 wide rim

315 are for 10" wheels then... I knew one of them was right... and those stick out of the fender a lil bit.

335s. nice....im not sure if its those nitto dr's or some other tires, that say they're 335, but look more like 275's.

ok, so the 3-digit number is the width? then the second number would be the size of the tire wall? and the last number of course is the rim

right?

Luis_GT · September 2nd, 2007, 03:11 PM

right?

The first 3 digit number is the width of the tire in millimeters. The second number is the aspect ratio, or height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width.

275/40-18 Nitto NT555 up front, and 335/30-18 Nitto NT555Rs in the back.

would it be better to have a bigger aspect ratio or less? lol, i look at tires and don't see too much of a difference sometimes even though they're numbers apart

The widest tire nitto recomends for a 10.5" is 315. The widest for a 10" or 9.5" is 295, depending on the diameter of the rim.

you can fit bigger than a 295 on a 10" rim
