tire pressure question
Finally made the switch to deep dish 10.5s with 315 Nitto 555s from American Muscle. It says on the packaging they were filled to 44 psi for shipping. What psi should I be running in these tires for daily driving? Also, anyone else have problems with one wheel/tire sticking out further than the other one?

i cant answer the sticking out problem. But i can help help with the psi. I run the reccomended pressure during regular driving. usually lower it to about half that if i want a bigger contact patch

30-35 PSI for street driving
Drop to about 20 PSI if on the 1/4 |

I have a similar setup and run 30 in the rear and 32 in the front... Drop it to about 20 at the track.
If it is sticking out further on one side than the other and both wheel offsets are the same, then it could have to do with your rear axel. (assuming you are refferring to the rear) I'd have that looked at...

most mustangs have a wheel that sticks out farther than the other. its just the inconsistant build from the factory

Thanks I set them at 32. Yes I'm talking about the rears and yes my suspension is stock other than lowering springs. I've found online that this is a fairly common problem.

I had the same setup and used 25-30 psi for street lower for strip higher for autoX.

if your axle isn't centered properly, you could have tweaked upper control arms, bad bushings or where they bolt to the chassis could be bent. Adjustable upper control arms can help you center your axle.
