[mustang0386]

i got 18X9/10 dd black bullits, what size tire do i need.will post pics when i got them on rhe car,

[Thomas91169]

i think you can go as big as a 305 on the 10" wide in the back. for the fronts a 275.

[KyleUSAF]

front: 275/35/18
back: i'd probly go with 315/30/18 i think

I think so too, I'm pretty sure people are running 315's on the back of the 03/04 Cobra's.

[Zim]

315's might be kinda big on a 10"... they'll work fine, but the right fit is 295/35/18

18x9's you'll want a 275/35/18

[mustang0386]

sweet. cant wait to put them on.ill put pics up when they are on the car.

[Scut95]

You can get 315's on the rear....but anyway you go im sure they'll look good, can't wait to see what they look like

[mustang0386]

would this also work Front 245 40 zr18 and Rear 265 35 zr18 Nexen 3000

[02V6TTcoupe]

no, way too skinny. gotta be fat tires

[lowflyn]

They'll fit that way...but the wheel will be sticking further out than the tire. It looks bad IMO, and you run a higher chance of curbing them. I have 275/35-18's on my 18x9's and they're still a touch too narrow for my tastes.

[KyleUSAF]

a 275 on my 18x9.5 wheel is dead even with the wheel edge. Some tires run wide and some skinny, but a 265 will look bad on a 10". Get at least a 295, sure it's more money, but it is worth it. 245's are the width for an 8" wheel, so an entire inch larger wheel, that is not nearly wide enough. Don't go all out on wheels and then halfass the tires, you will regret it if you do. Good luck and lets see some pics when u get them

[bbunt302]

On a 9" wheel, I'd say from a 265 to a 285 is an acceptable range. For a 10" wheel, you can get away with a 295 to a 315.

I've also had 255s on a 9" wheel, but they were too narrow for my tastes. On a Fox though, that's something you just kinda have to live with on the front with 17x9s.

[mustang0386]

where can i buy tires for them online.

[bbunt302]

Discount Tire, Custom Wheels, Truck & Car Rims | Discount Tire Co.

The Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels

[mustang0386]

i cant find any decent tire for the back rims

[KyleUSAF]

a tire that large is not going to be cheap...i know nittos come in that size and are good tires. You could check them out

[mustang0386]

i, prob goin to get some nexen on the front dont know about the back yet

[PureVenom]

295/35/18's -> Tire Products - Discount Tire Direct

305/35/18's -> Tire Products - Discount Tire Direct

295/30/18's -> Tire Products - Discount Tire Direct

295/40/18's -> Tire Products - Discount Tire Direct

Nittos are great tires. They have good tread life (in street radials, not Drag Radials) and good wet and dry traction. Their drag radials are also good for longevity, but they provide less traction than say a BFG or Mickey Tompson...which neither have great longevity.

not sure why Nitto's don't appear in my links above..their search must suck. Anyhow, these would probably be your best bet in 295 size -> Tire Details - Discount Tire Direct

[mustang0386]

i was thinkin of goin with these up front
Tires for PASSENGER CARs very cheap, bargains, have a look and save
will they be good?

[Zim]

that link doesnt bring me to a tire.

Here's the bottom line: You've gotta pay to play. Dont cheap out on things like tires. Buy the right size and be done with it, you'll regret it if you dont.

[mustang0386]

prob goin with these
Nexen N 3000 265/35 ZR18 97Y XL , BW $ 103.40 2 $ 206.80
Falken FK-452 295/30 ZR18 94Y Rim-protection in preparation $ 185.50 2 $ 371.00
Subtotal 4 $ 577.80

or should i go with different front tires?

[ridenmystang]

So your putting nexen on the front and falkens on the back?

[mustang0386]

yea or i might go falkens all the way around

[ridenmystang]

I would put one of the two all the way around. I have nexens on mine.

[mustang0386]

i cant find nexens for the back.love ur car too.i had a bright red mustang before my black one.

[ridenmystang]

I always use nexen tires on mine. just bought a new set from my sis. she had them on her mustang for only 2 months and She sold them to me for $200. Awesome deal.

[mustang0386]

so u dont think 265 up front would be bad.and im doin 295 in the back.

[KyleUSAF]

265 would be ok. I'd go with 275 if possible if it is not too much of a price jump, but 265 will be about even with the rim.

[mustang0386]

wat do u mean be even with the rim?

[KyleUSAF]

as wide as the rim. Most prefer a little wider to protect against curb rash, but it is fine. Mine are even.

[mustang0386]

ok i gotcha u. im just goin with 265 Summitomo's and 285 in the back.maybe 295 dont know yet.but thanks everybody.
