Hey guys, I just purchased some 18x9 and 18x10 in the rear Saleen wheels for my 1996 Mustang GT Vert.

Okay my first question is is there any clearance issues in the rear with 18x10 in the rear? I havent actually checked by mounting them up yet because of too little time..

Also can I fit a 245/40/18 tire on a 18x10 wheels for now until I can go with a wider one?

Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I just put some 18x9, 18x10.5 2003 cobra rims on mine and there isnt any clearance issues but as far as you running 245's thats way too small for 18x10... right now i have a 275x40x18 on the rear and thats not even wide enough.. the lip sticks out a little on the tire. i need some 305's

[Eek!] 245's on a 10 inch rim wont even work bro, even with a 275 you wont have any lip protection. 1st rule of car building dont be cheap, run a 265 up front and a 295/305 in the rear.
