Deep dish in rear or 9" all around?

B0B · March 10th, 2007, 02:00 PM

well i'm looking into getting new wheels for my mustang, i'm getting 18" black bullitt style wheels. my question is, should i get the 18x10 deep dish in back with 295's and 18x9 in the front with 275's? or should i go 18x9 with 275's all around? the reason i'm asking this is because 1. getting the wider wheels in tires in the back is gonna cost more, and 2. my dad thinks its stupid to get wider ones in the back because then i wont be able to rotate my tires. so what do you guys think?

also this is a daily driver, not a race car. thanks

You might wanna try 18x8 in the front with 255s', with a wheel alignment this just might give you a better turning radius and sharper reaction with less wear on your steering gear...18x9 with 275s' in the back is what I have I think those are the way to go no matter whats up front.

its always cool to havea wider wheel in the back. just my opinion though.

I'm debating the same thing, and since my Stang is also my daily, Im leaning toward 18x9's all the way around. It may not look as good as someone with deep dishes and fat meats, but it still wont look bad by any means.

Plus its just like you said, you wouldnt be able to rotate your tires, and buying 2 new tires every so often would get old real fast.

this is true, but its a mustang, you'd be spinning them off anyway.

B0B · March 10th, 2007, 04:08 PM

yeah i think i'm just gonna go with 18x9's.. i'll be selling my mustang as soon as i finish college and buying an 03-04 kenne bell cobra anyways. then i wont worry about rotating tires.

I think it look prety SWEET......with fattys on the back.... But that's my opinion....

Max.....FTW.? I finaly got my new wheels on....Ya baby....How does she look....She loves to streatch her legs now.......

i went 17x9 all around, but i plan on going dd in the back. i love the look of some 315 meathooks in the back. i should've just done it that way from the start. btw, i'm running 255's up front with no issues.

raceruler03 · March 10th, 2007, 06:46 PM

looks sweet

ATLmustang · March 10th, 2007, 11:27 PM

you could go 18x9.5 all the way around and run a 275 35 18 thats a nice set up

Looks great man. All you have to do is lower it and get rid of the high rise look. LOL
