^^ thats a loaded question, it all depends on how the spacing is setup and a 315 can vary in width (reality wise)~ but the rim backspacing is the most important part to know~

I see. It seems a few years ago everyone went with a 315 on the different Stang forums, but now I have been seeing more 295's. Maybe there were alot of issues? So a 295 is a pretty safe bet on a pro kit or Steeda Sport set? I think the 285's look to stretched, like they dont quite fit. Dark Shadows, what brand of tire is the 295 are those. They look like they fit well. Also , what drop are you on? |

in the first pic its about a 2 inch drop(h&r super race springs) with 285's out back, in the last pics its a 295/35r18 goodyear eagle f1 supercar off of the 04 z06, with about a 1.4 or so drop(prokit)

Yeah, I think its the 17x10.5 that I am thinking of with a 315. Ok, I like the pro-kit drop and the 295's best. That looks sweet. |

You are going to LOVE those on your car. I JUST got mine a little under a month ago & I get head turns everywhere... (here's a link to the thread I posted for pics & suggestions for my car: Black Bullit Motorsport Wheels (AM.Com))
As for tires, I went with AM.Com's suggestion of 275/35-18 - However I will be looking for some new tires soon because it rains alot here (Coming From SoCal this wasn't a concern at the time of purchase). Anyone have any suggestions on brand that works well in heavy rain locations?
