New Wheels arrive!

OH3GT · September 14th, 2009, 02:46 PM

Just got em in the door. Can't wait to get em on.

now to which tires to go with?? I want 275/35/18 and 295/35/18... Sounds good? And anyone have any pics to show their tires???

M.P. Cobra Fan · September 14th, 2009, 03:23 PM

I am in love with those wheels.

I run 265/35 and 285/40 on mine. Let me find an arse shot for you.

02sonicGT · September 14th, 2009, 03:33 PM

why not go with 315 on the rear for some real meat? those are 10.5" for the rear right?

M.P. Cobra Fan · September 14th, 2009, 03:34 PM

Here are mine, like I said, 285/40.

Personally I do not think they are wide enough! lol

Renegaderacer · September 14th, 2009, 03:36 PM

i always liked those wheels!

Lefty · September 14th, 2009, 04:18 PM

Nice!

dcook_14 · September 14th, 2009, 10:02 PM

How wide are the wheels? They look awesome even just sitting on your floor!

Shaun03GT · September 14th, 2009, 10:09 PM

Those are so nasty looking. Exactly what I want to do, 18" Black Bullitts. Id go 285/40 out back

Seabee · September 14th, 2009, 10:11 PM

I was thinking about gettin those for mine, the 20's tho. But its not "saleen" enough lol. Cant wait to see them on tho. Hurry up

scp616 · September 14th, 2009, 10:12 PM

Damn those look good
I have 255's on my stang and 285's on my vette (so i can still rotate the tires on both cars)
and i have to say, i REALLY wish i had gone with 285's on my stang
315's are good, but look around at tire availability first. It's hard to find decent tires, all i could find was crap for cheap, and tires i would feel bad doing burnouts with... not much mid grade. That was a while ago though, so you may have better luck

BakerFX4 · September 14th, 2009, 10:21 PM

i dont think my 305's are wide enough. I want them wider! i will say watch putting wider wheels on the front. I have 265's on the front and they snatch the steering wheel alot. Even wore out the link that runs through the headers to the rack and pinion.

06z28eaTer · September 14th, 2009, 10:23 PM

great choice dude!

255's fit without scrubbing... barely
not wide enough for the back though =P

BakerFX4 · September 14th, 2009, 10:31 PM

huh?

My 265's dont rub at all in the front. Im kinda confused.

Badass wheels though! i freaking love em!

scp616 · September 14th, 2009, 10:37 PM

Sorry man, apparently I can't read lol

Seabee · September 14th, 2009, 10:45 PM

i had 275s before and never rubbed

gray8188 · September 14th, 2009, 10:54 PM

I have 295/35/18's and love them.. I want to run atleast 305's next..

scp616 · September 14th, 2009, 10:55 PM

damn, u think the 05 has a little more room?
everyone told me 255's were the widest that would clear =P

carnut59 · September 14th, 2009, 11:00 PM

iam drooling, grab a paper towel

Seabee · September 14th, 2009, 11:01 PM

My 275's were on my 04, up front, and 285 out back. Never rubbed, not even when i bottomed out.
