305s in the rear and 265 up front looks nice

Posted by MaK_1967v8 (Member # 12187) on :

255/35r18 front
295/35r18 rear

Have this setup on my roush ( its what it came with off the lot ) Have no complaints about it this setup.

I run the KDWs. a 295 KDW is about as wide as a 315 Nitto, or TOYO tire, just FYI.

For some reason they don't make 265/35/18s in the KDW anymore, I used 245/40/18 on my 9" fronts and 295/35/18 on my 10" rears

Posted by racsirx (Member # 1710) on :

I like the KDWs but I have set of 18s which 9.5" fronts and 10.5" rears, and I wondering what size tires to get for them since I think the 245/40/18s will be too stretched on a 9.5" rim.

I was thinking of going 255/40/18fronts and 295/40/18rears wat do u guys think

I ran this exact size on my cobra and looked great

Posted by NK2186 (Member # 12319) on :

I put rims and tires on my 99 cobra recently.

18x10 rear and 18x8.5 front. In the front we went with 255/40/18 and the rear is 275/40/18 (going off the top of my head).

For a good price on tires call up this alignment shop and talk to Jesse http://www.yelp.com/biz/treds-hayward

Tell him Jeff told you to call him.

18s are too small you need 19s or 20s on a coyote

Posted by CoyoteMaster (Member # 13680) on :

Thanks for the info i will do that

Posted by CoyoteCoupe (Member # 9621) on :

I'm running 20" wheels on my Coyote, 9 front and 10 rear with 255-35-20 and 295-35-20 tires.

Posted by Frank.JD.Perez (Member # 12650) on :

I would agree with it being no smaller than 255 in the front. I have 275s all around on my sn with 17x8s and it handles well. Its a bit pricy but i would look for some 275s for the front and 295 in back

Posted by Luke87GT (Member # 21) on :

265/35/18 and 295/35/18 if it's a 94-04

If it's a 05+, I advise you to go slighty taller.

Posted by CoyoteMaster (Member # 13680) on :

Thanks im considering that right now

Posted by a302juGRnot (Member # 10163) on :

you need taller tires with 18's on a 05+body. get 40 series tires and the width is up to you.

+1

+2, you could pull off 18's if you are dead set on that size with some lowering springs and tall tires. I'd do 19's if you were to purchase the rims.
