last rim question

Mustang RacR94 · February 17th, 2010, 09:19 AM

so gentleman, with my 5K plus in taxes lol

Im finally buying wheels for the mach.

any last suggestions, I want black ones, I was gonna buy black bullitts.

how about suggestions on other wheels?

I know I want deep dish on the back but should I do it on the front to or just the normal style, very confused thanks

my94pony · February 17th, 2010, 10:24 AM

id get 17x10.5 for the back with some big tires like 315's and 17x9 on the front with 255's

M.P. Cobra Fan · February 17th, 2010, 10:27 AM

I like the deep dish all around. See sig.

89StangGT · February 17th, 2010, 10:27 AM

You got 5k and are thinking about putting Bullitts on it? I'd be tossing some 18x9 and 18x11 CCWs or TF wheels on.

Lefty · February 17th, 2010, 10:31 AM

How much of that 5k do you wanna spend on rims? Get some nice TF's or CCW's like ^homo said if you wanna budget like 3k or so. If not, than you shouldn't be spending over a grand for some regular style rims like saleen's, bullits, etc.

im not spending that much on wheels, i go to basic in june so im spending most of it on spring break and shit

I agree on the 315/35/17 but for the front I would go 275/40/17 if you went 255s there would be a difference in speed between the front and back axles possibly causing issues with the ABS and traction control.

Mustang RacR94 · February 17th, 2010, 02:41 PM

Yea I ordered 17x10.5 for the back deep dish and 17x9 for the front non deep dish.

Gotta get tires for them then

97mustanggt · February 17th, 2010, 03:07 PM

bullits?

I have 245 fronts and 315 rears with no issues.

That's because that is the stock size (245/40-17) and the 315/35-17's are the same exact diameter as the stock size but the 255/40-17 would spin approximately 2.5% slower which may or may not be enough to make the ABS/Trac to malfunction.

Is that really the stock tire size? Wow. They're kind of small on the 9" rim, and stretched pretty good.

89StangGT · February 18th, 2010, 10:42 AM

Oh, and on my Camaro with my 26" front tires and 28" rear tires, it doesn't trip my ABS, but when I put 30"s on it for nitrous, it trips the ABS wheel speed sensor. Not a big deal to me though.

97mustanggt · February 18th, 2010, 11:04 AM

245 on a 18x9 suck...the rim lip is to exposed

Mustang RacR94 · February 18th, 2010, 02:01 PM

89StangGT · February 18th, 2010, 02:13 PM

Mustang RacR94 · February 19th, 2010, 05:45 PM
