Wheels- Deep Dish??

I would go 9" wide in the front and 10" wide in the rear. The only thing you might have a problem with is the speedo reading incorrectly due to the tires being a different diameter than stock.

Hey!! Did you check out the wheel calculator that I posted?

Just make sure you get them same diameter and you won't have any problems. 17-20's need no modifications. My favorite deepdish rims would have to be black bullitts with a chrome lip.

I have 05 GT Convertible. I want to go to an 18'' deep dish wheel. My question is do I want 9's or 10's. Any suggestions would be appreciated & I truly welcome "experience". I am assuming that there is NO modifications to adding 18's vs the 17's I have on now. Will I experience any problems with "deep dish"? Thanks

If you want to be able to rotate get 9's all around. They'll be just fine for plenty of performance, and if you want to put on really expensive rubber, you'll save a lot of money by not having to toss them both (both fronts or both backs) when one is significantly more worn. I'm running 275 on a 9" rim and the shop is ok with putting on up to 285. but if you're going to keep them uniform I would keep it below 265.

275's all the way around will fit fine. 275 is the best for a 9in wide rim

Even if the car is lowered??? 1x1.25

yes. 275's fit on the front of new edge stangs, and our cars have more room

Sweet...

Also, would you guys say that if you want the tire to blend well with the rim it's better to oversize a smaller rim than to put a merely adequate width tire on a 10.5 inch rim?

Not for sure what the question is, but a tire that is too small for a rim looks stupid. If you want the best look for a rim, go with a tire that fits exact or just a little bigger.

9s in the front will be fine if you put the right tire size. 10s in the back are also good if you put the right tire size. too big will result in rubbing.

also, the right offset makes a difference also.

+1

Also I had a thread early, but no one answered it... What is the smallest offset that I could run on mine?

Get a ****ing 27" ****ing tire and it'll fit just ****ing fine and wont be out of ****ing calibration with the ****ing speedo.

****ing what?

To many girlscout cookies in one sitting.

IMO a 275 on a 10" rim is way to small. i had a 285 on a 9.5" rim and i thought that was to small also. 10" rims should get nice fat tires. at least 305's, but 315 would look even better.that and a 275 out front on a 9" rim.
