    Wheels and tires

    Thanks to a lawsuit that finally ended, I can finally get wheels and tires for the stang!

    17*8's


    18*10's


    I'll be reusing the 555's on the front wheels on my stang, and for the rear tires, I bought 2 NT-555R's off of Steeda's website in size 305/35-18; I bought that size so the sidewalls on the front and rear tirs will be about the same. My speedo reads fast anyways, with any luck this'll kinda correct it. :D

    Looks good but is there any specific reason y u chose 17's for the front? Regardless looks good though. Also is it me or does nitto 305's run kinda small?? They look almost like 295's cause i heard that the nitto's run a little smaller. Do you still plan on getting the cobra front,sides etc?? Cant wait to see them on there.

    Not enough money for new tires in the front. I'm reusing the 555's on my stock front wheels on these new front wheels. And if anyone finds it odd that I'm going 17's in front, and 18's in rear, then here's the explanation:

    In theory, yes, but we don't recommend it because it throws off your rolling diameter.
    The tire sizes we recommend are the best fit for the wheels we sell. If you use the recommended tire sizes, you will have a fat front sidewall and a skinny rear sidewall. You can get around this, by using a taller tire in the back, which will give you the correct sidewall height. However, doing this throws off your speedometer, and you will need to purchase a handheld tuner to correct it.
    Note: For owners of 1994-2004 Mustangs that still want to do 17x9 in the front and 18x10 in the rear, the tire sizes you need will be as follows:
    17x9: 275/40-17 or 245/45-17 (depending on the year of your car)
    18x10: 305/35-18
    At this time, we do not offer the proper tire size for 2005+ cars.

    I'm not sure if I'm buying cobra body pieces yet. Definitely considering them though.
