Tire and rim help

hubba076 · July 9th, 2007, 09:35 PM

I been thinking about going with a wider set of rear tires for my ride. I found these tires online which is fat as hell: Nitto 555R 315 x 35 x 17. I wanna stay with a 17 inch rim, but I'm not sure what rim size I have to use with this tire. also is it possible to get the tire for this the same as my stock chrome rim??

Please, any feedback would be appreciated

your not going to be able to fit that tire on your rimes man.

your going to need a 10.5 inch rim to make those work.

the biggest tire i would put on your rims are 275/40/17's

17x10.5 will fit the 315/35-17. If you are willing to wait I think that there is a company that is coming out with a deep dish cobra wheel. It would be a sweet setup for your car the dd's usually come in the 17x10.5 size.

i wouldnt even put a 275 on it , the biggest i would go with your stock rim is a 255

true.

but his rims look like Cobra rims which are 9 inch rims.

275's fit just fine.

i put 275/40 on my stock mach 1 wheel and they just look too wide for the wheel , they cup and the next set i get for them will be 255

HMUSN · July 9th, 2007, 11:09 PM

look on the specs of the tire. It should say the minumum and max wheel width. min a 10.5 max is 12.5

you are correct

for some reason i was thinking he was putting 275's on his oem mustang wheel , sorry for the confusion , a 275 will fit fine but still might be just a little on the big side

HMUSN · July 9th, 2007, 11:32 PM

a 9 inch rim will be fine on 275's.

i run 275's on 8.5 rims with no sidewall flex.

but thanks for the info on the stock mach wheels

hubba076 · July 10th, 2007, 01:32 PM

Maybe I didn't clarify, but i did intend on going with a different set of rear rims. I wasn't planning on putting 315's on the stockers. I'd have to be crazy to do that.

Does anyone know where I can find a set of 10.5 inch 17's with the same type of rim I have in the front. Note that my wheels have the pony insignia inside of a black circle and came in the gt premium package. If that makes sense. I'll try to send a better pic if I am confusing anyone.

04GTAMPA · July 10th, 2007, 01:38 PM

check O.E. Wheels on Ebay. They can get those with the Pony package.

By the way, can I fit 325's on a 10.5 rinch? I think I can...

We are having a real trust issue here. I already told you they will fit.

04GTAMPA · July 10th, 2007, 01:57 PM

I never asked you... Did I? Now I'm confused. And stop dreaming of touching my big ass, is not gonna happen!

acmillr · July 10th, 2007, 02:05 PM

You didn't ask, but I did tell you that I wanted to get a pair for those wheels. I don't feel like your giving your whole heart to this relationship. You're a terrible listener, and I feel so lonely most of the time.

BTW: I'm sorry all the rest of you had to see this outpouring of Mustang emotion.

04GTAMPA · July 10th, 2007, 02:06 PM

you know it's all good. But you have a short shifter and I don't.

HMUSN · July 10th, 2007, 02:07 PM

^ you want one

04GTAMPA · July 10th, 2007, 02:08 PM

do you have one? I want a hurst!

HMUSN · July 10th, 2007, 02:12 PM

I have a tri ax.

not a hurst.

smoke-em · July 10th, 2007, 03:17 PM
