I have 325s on my 10.5" wheels with room to spare. You could probably fit 325s

Damn, that's crazy but would be awesome...if I go to a tire store, would they help me out and let me try something wide like that on? I don't want to just but 325s and have them be too big

I'm sure you could look at what 325 wide is like at a store, some might let u see it on the wheel, all depends on customer service.
Here's my 325s

And what's a good website to look for wheels besides American muscle? The best deal for 19s I found was 19x10 for about $180. I don't think it's wide enough but wider wheels are was more expensive

Here's 245 vs 325

Looks bad ass bro, I would love to have mine that wide, plus I have a 2012 mustang. Idk if that makes a difference

Discount tire is good for tires, u can get nittos on there for cheap.
145 instead of 200 like on AM.
And EBay
Craigslist
Late model restoration
AM
The actual place that makes the wheel
Not sure of a lot else, sure there is a lot, just google search.

I run a 18x10 with 305's in the rear no problem, I also have an extra set of pirellis 315's after my 305's wear out

The 2010-Current body style can handle up to a 20" wheel and look slick. I love fat tires and I think personally the current body lowered with fat tires looks sick, any stang with fat tires looks sick.
The AMR Charcoal are personally my favorite wheels on the current body.

I'd say run 275s up front and 305-325 out back.

 

[RuSSiaNStuDD]

So there's a possibility I can fit 325s on a 10"...that great

Does anybody know any deals on wider than 10" wheels for a mustang?

On a 10 inch rim, I wouldn't personally do a 325. It doesn't fit the rim properly, and the side wall will spill over the rim which I personally hate. It'll work if you like that balloon look though, but if you don't, I would do a 295 or 305. I'm tempted to try a 315, because they look great on 11 inch rims, but I'm not sure how they would look on 10's.

 

[Eacastano7]

I run 295 on a 20x11 wheel

I run 295 on a 20x11 wheel

How is it that with a 295 on an 11 wide looks near flush and mine with a 325 on a 10.5" wide I still have room to spare?

 

[Eacastano7]

Prob the wheel offset

Agreed. I run 305/40/18 on my 18x10s and you wouldn't want to go much wider. The amount of sidewall has an effect on how it will mount as well.

Honestly, I wouldn't focus so much on the size. Pick a tire that fits your performance, mileage, and weather needs, then see what sizes are available and what size wheel the manufacturer recommends.

Well said, wider isn't always better, unless the only thing you're looking for is traction. But that also comes down to manufacturer, tread design and the compounds it is made of.

Probably the challenge is a good understanding of what offset is needed on a wheel per the width to not rub. If someone has a calculation for this or explanation it could probably eliminate a lot of questions on max width.
