Question for those with 18" wheels


I'm thinking of getting 18x9 front wheels w/ 18x10 back wheels. For those who have gotten 18s for their stangs, have you had to make any mods to install the wheels? If you bought the wheels mounted w/ tires, did you install them yourself? Where did you order your wheels from? Also what tire sizes would you recommend for front & back?

may need spacers depending onwhich wheel you go with but most likely not.

fronts 265, or 275 and rear 295-305 can go bigger on the back but things start gettng really expensive then

i got 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the back. I have had no problem whatsoever with spacing issues just with the bad ass look of the rear tires!!!

Exactly. Bullits go right on with no modification. My tires are front: 265/35/18, back: 295/35/18. There are no issues except tires are expensive.
