I just ordered some 18x9/18x10 FR500's for my Bullitt. After I get them paid off the next thing will be tires. What size should I go with? I want them wide in the rear, and may eventually lower it some (now is stock Bullitt height).

I would agree with T_rail. Everybody always says 275 front 315 rear, but to be honest i was going to switch that set up for a 255 front and 295 rear. The reason is up front i didnt need that much tire, I was taking super crazy twisties and by having the 295 rear there were more options for a taller tire. However this was also on a 17" rim...

Yeah really thinking the 265 and 295 combo. Also, the 305 and 315 are way too expensive.

How are the BFG G-force? I like the look of them. The Bullitt only get maybe 1500 miles a year on her.

i have them in 295/35R18 on my Mach 1. they are very good street tires though i could not get them to hook the best at the drag strip. i also have BFG g-force sports up front in 255/40R18
295/35/18 rear on 18x10
225/45/18 front 18x8
Continental extreme contact. (Dws)
If you don't drive in the winter the DW's are nice.
Both sizes are 26" tall
Ride quality & noise is great & non excistint
The fronts are on the skinny side but I drag race a lot & was looking for weight savings.
I love the looks of the 18's but the difference between tire prices of 17" to 18" seemed to jump up quickly.

MT's all day long
Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial II Mustang Tire - 305/35-18 3785R - Free Shipping!
Unless you don't want max traction and just want a street tire, then the nitto's are a cheaper alternative.
Side note:
Continentals are expensive and don't come close to the MT in terms of traction. And the nittos blow it away in terms of value.
