Due to a slow leak in one of the rears AND the forthcoming forced induction upgrades, I'm looking at wider rims and some help with choosing tires to go with them. Currently I have KDW2s all around (thanks TAF!) on stock rims.

Someone (sorry can't recall who) found '05 Mustang rims that fit the MM. I'm leaning toward the "Chrome 2005+ Deep Dish Bullitt Wheel" (http://www.americanmuscle.com/18inchwheels.html)in 18x9 (front) & 18x10 (rear). These will work, yes? Can ya'll recommend specific Nitto's to fit these? Are my BIG brakes (BAER) going to be a problem?

Nope. These (http://www.americanmuscle.com/chrome-2005-deep-dish-bullitt-wheels-18x9-18x10.html). < click the link.

I'm trying to avoid paying retail for OEM rims that will have to be custom widened. Including new Nitto rubber all around, that gets up there close to $2K.

They look great, especially in chrome in my opinion. Do you know if your OEM centre caps would fit on those new wheels?

Dunno. I suspect not.
