well my 94 gt when i baught it was sitting on 03 cobras 18+9 front and 18+10 in the back. and the tires was rubbing like a mutherfucker with 265's in the front and it poped on the freeway [Mad] So i got dunlops 9000 245-40-zr18 and was way better. i left the back alone,they are 275's-35-18 Michlens z rated sport

I was told that 255 and 295 would be the best?

also, what height? 35? 40? 45??

keep in mind, that I'll probably be getting H&R supersport springs and MM LCA's for the rear

255-35-18 ft rear 275-35-18 that what I have on my 96.

i belive saleen and roush use 265/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear. i've used this setup before and it's perfect.

thats almost what i had in mind... I was kinda thinkin of 255/40/18 and something like 295/35/18 or 305...
 
Posted by poisonpony96 (Member # 3942) on :
 
the right setup is 265 35 and 296 35 but a 305 would look real nice on the back and a 255 35 maybe 40 would be ok for the front. I have a 265-35 on the front fit perfect and have a 285-35 on the back but it is to skinny looks retared going to get a 305-35 for the rear.
 
Posted by 94gt (Member # 3060) on :
 
ok, I think I'm gonna get 265/35/18 for the fronts and I'm having a hard time deciding between:

295/35
305/35
315/30

I would greatly appreciate someone's help! I'm gonna put H&R SS on it for the drop, and I know that I can flip my quad shock around for clearance, if needed.
 
Posted by 02GeeTee (Member # 5905) on :
 
315/30's, Jesse. I doubt you'll have rubbing issues in the rear. Even with the H&R drop.

That's the size that johnB suggested too...

I'm thinkin I'm gonna go with a 295/35 in the rear, mainly due to cost.. I dont want to pay $350 a tire, or have to pay less for a crappier tire, ya know?

what brands are you running BlowN67?
 
Posted by BlowN67 (Member # 4229) on :
 
Michlen pilots for one set

Nitto 555's for another

BFG's G-force for the last ones
