I have a 1998 Mustang Cobra and I will be getting some 18x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear. Right now I have 255/35/20 and I have no rubbing issues. What size tires can I get for my new set that will not rub? Thanks!

Well for the front either a 255/40/18 or 265/35/18 then out back I would go with 285/35/18, or 295/35/18.
