    Motown Marauder: How does the car handle with those fat tires? How's the braking?

    What's the consensus on a 275/40/18? Is that a correct enough tire height? I plan to lower the car perhaps an inch or an inch and a half.

    The 275/40/18 would be for the front. It's hard to find a 275/45/18. Is a 40 height too short?

    Always look at the overall demensoins of your tire, the 45 in 275/45 18 is referring to the width of the tire, sounds like it will be shorter than the stock tire which wont look good on the car, especially one that isnt lowered.

    Motown Marauder: I will be lowering the car 1 or 1.5 inches, I haven't decided yet. Should I still look for a 45?

    Im not sure on the height of the tire your interested in, go to the tire manufactuers web site and look at the overall demensions of the tire your interested in.

    Tire rack is a good place to find information. Pick the tire of your choice, then go to the specs.

    Ari did you finally finish your 4v swap?? Post up some pics! For summer I like the Nitto 555 ZR Extreme tires. I run 265-50-18 on all 4 corners, so I can rotate them.

    I did! I'll have to post up a thread.

    Also, I've been looking at an 18x9.5" wheel with an offset of 35. Do you guys think this would be ok? Would I need a spacer? The tires I'm looking to run all the way around is a 275/40/18

    Hey guys,
    I'm looking to possibly buy a set of SVE bullitt wheels for my car tomorrow. They are 18x9 and 18x10 with +24 offset all around.
    Will these fit with a +24 offset?
    The guy said they're made to fit 04 mustangs

    Will I be able to roll the fenders to get enough clearance? Or would it be way too far out?

    If your talking about a Marauder the fenders are factory rolled.
