I'm thinking about ordering a set of either black or anthracite Bullitt rims in an 18x9 and 18x10 staggered setup. My main question is how much tire can you comfortably fit on one of these car both front and rear. I've never owned a Mustang newer than a '92 until this one. I know what'll fit under a Fox, but this is new ground for me.

my `97 GT has 18x9 and 18x10's on it, 255/35 in the front, 285/30 in the rear, there is tons of room.
I'd say you could easily go 305's without even rolling the fenders or flipping the quads in the back.

That's a good look. I was thinking about a 295/35 rear, but was wondering about the front. Any chance a 275/35 will fit in the front or is that asking too much?

You can easliy run a 275/35 or 40 up front no problem not my taste looks like to much tire up front i run 265/35 up front. For out back you can run up too a 315 no problem i have before for a few months right now i run a 295/35 i think looks best fits the wheel well very good. hope everything works out. ill see you saturday and you can check out the wheel setup i run.

Sounds good. I'm thinking I'm going to run a 295/265 combo once I decide on the wheels. I'll see you Saturday.

295s rear and 275s front easily. u can probably stretch it a bit with a 305 in the rear but your best bet as far as tire selection and price is to stick with a 295.

I think the 18's look better on the '67-'68. They are a slightly bigger car. The 18's are a little much for the '64-'66 cars. Besides that, I need an 8" rim for the front and the 18's only come in a 18x9 or 18x10 but I can get the 17's in a 17x8 and 17x10.5 combo. Here are the wheels:

I appreciate that, John, but I don't have your magic wand for making tires fit that nobody else can.
