Tire Size

Whats best tire size for '00 mustang, 18x9 wheels?

275/35/18, 245/40/18??

shadow5403 · January 2nd, 2008, 05:00 PM

i would do different size in back compared to front. I would put 255/35/18s up front with 275/35/18s in the back. That way youll get real nice traction in the back.

na im doing four of the same tire size, (better rotating) and im not staggering the wheels, just 4 18x9 wheels. so what size and also any suggestions for cheap tires?

255/35r18

just dont go crazy wide on all fours......ride quality goes into the negatives....not to mention every groove in the road is gonna toss the car around the road

hey a bigger sidewall in the back for better flex for launches. 275/55/r18 id say or like 275/45/r18

jgreaves · January 2nd, 2008, 05:13 PM

well i called kauffman tire and they said to do a 245/40/18 or a 275/35/18

Onemanzu · January 2nd, 2008, 05:13 PM

both will work... I would go with the wider ones personally but thats just me

if you go with that tall of a side wall your speedo will be off... just saying

jgreaves · January 2nd, 2008, 05:18 PM

so 245/40/18 are good? im not sure which would be better. what about this deal..

thats wut a tuner is for

having a low pro sidewall isnt ideal for the strip

jgreaves · January 2nd, 2008, 05:36 PM

will 245/40/18 with 18x9 wheels rub on my 00 mustang? anyone. need to know quickly...

HMUSN · January 2nd, 2008, 05:39 PM

no they won't.

go with AT LEAST a 275 in the rear

jgreaves · January 2nd, 2008, 05:43 PM

why? theyre all 18x9 inch. do they look wider or something?

Yes, and better traction.

HMUSN · January 2nd, 2008, 05:47 PM

yup. it gives it a much more aggressive stance

jgreaves · January 2nd, 2008, 05:49 PM

well im looking at wheel and tire packages so there isnt a choice for a wider rear tire

HMUSN · January 2nd, 2008, 05:49 PM

275's all around then

jgreaves · January 2nd, 2008, 05:51 PM

how narrow does 245's look
