ON a 18x10 rear rim for 99-04 Stangs what is the max tire width you can run. I am looking at new rims but every place suggest 275's, well I have them on stock rims and they are 9's so can say a 295 or 305 be about the max and not look bad? I have the quad shocks on mine but plan on upgrading to better upper and lower control arms do I still need these shocks, street n strip? Just looking for advice, if I have to will run spacers but that is the reason for the deep dish rims. Thanks.

I'm running 295's on my 18x10's. They fit the rim really well.

I was looking at the BFG KDW tires in 295 just wondering if anyone else has these on their rims or have seen this size on some 18x10s

for an 18x10 the BEST tire fitment is a 295/35/18 or a 305/35/18 the reason I put two sizes is that some tire companies run more narrow than others so you need to research this.
BFG KDW's for instance a 295 (as are on my 10 wide rims and you can see in my pics in my sig) fit just right
