Tire Width

burnout5.0 · May 25th, 2009, 02:24 AM

im getting the 18" deep dish bullitts for my 04 cobra whats the widest rim and tire i can do up front and in back without any issues?

I've seen people with 335s on the back, but I don't think they'll fit on the 18x10s you're getting. Also with the 335s you'll have to roll the fender.

If you go 335's you'll *MOST LIKELY* need your fenders rolled.

up front, Max I have seen on mustangs is a 9 inch wide wheel with 275's.

I'm currently running a 9" rim with 275s up front, you might be able to sneak 285s up there, but not much more. As it is, I get just a wee bit of rub on my sway bar on the driver's side at full lock.

yeah i think im gonna go with 18x9 up front with a 275 and an 18x10 with a 285 out back.

562cobra · May 26th, 2009, 07:20 AM

on an 18x10 I believe you can mount on 305s.

I have 285s on a 17x9 on the rear.

Yeah I'm doing 18x9's up front w/ a 265/35/18 & 18x10.5's out back w/ a 315/30/18.

Lefty, you having any scrubbing issues out back? Right now I am running a 285/40/18 on the rear 18x10. I am having a scrubbing issue becuase of the taller 40 series tire. Next time I am going to go back to a shorter tire, but go wider.

Well I don't currently have them mounted yet. But from what I've heard w/ the 315/30/18 you don't have issues and you also don't need low-pro IRS bolts either.

Yeah we'll have to see...so why'd you go w/ 40 in the rear?

Ryan Paymaster · May 26th, 2009, 05:14 PM

I'm not sure why you want to fit the max tire size up front. I have 275 up front and regret it. However, I have a 9" rim so it's about right.

burnout5.0 · May 26th, 2009, 06:11 PM

its not that i wanna fit the max tire size up front i just wanted to make sure i wasnt going too big and gonna run into issues. as for the back i think im just gonna go with a 285/35/18.

I am a fan of the big tall meaty tire in the back, and I love the stance it gives. I just think a rear tire should be taller, and wider than a front.

Some of us like to be able to turn, lol.

I could care less how fast it goes in a straight line if I can't make the corner at the end of the straightaway.

burnout5.0 · May 27th, 2009, 12:42 AM

i just ordered the rims and tires im doing a 18x9 up front with a 275/35 and a 18x10 out back with a 285/35

I have a 9" front wheel with 275 "Riken" brand tires (who knows) since my old Sumitomo were near death. I haven't run into any rubbing issues at all and these tires seem a hell of a lot bigger than any other standard tire. You'll be absolutely fine with a 275 up front.

I forget that some people actually road race these cars instead of throw them down in a straight line.

Oops!

MOST DEFINETLY is more like it.

i have 335 nittos, and well, a couple of weeks ago i found out that i need my fenders rolled the hard way via a 3" gouge in the tire.

on a 10" rim i would do a 305 or bigger. a 285 will look badly stretched...
