My car is lowered 1" with Eibach springs, do you think a 245-40-18 will be too big up front? I don't really want to have any rubbing. I have 17's on the car now.

Shouldn't be an issue. The 245/40R18's are the same 25.7" diameter as the stock 245/45R17's and the same width.

put 265/35s on there. i had rubbing with my 255/45/17s, stepped up to the 265/35/18, no more rubbing. lowered about the same.

These are the new wheels I'm looking at. I'm still trying to decide on what style. I want them black and I like 5 spokes but I don't like how common these are.

Common and bullet in the same sentence? If you are looking for something that isn't the most common wheel on a mustang look fopr something other than a bullet wheel. The 245's will not rub in that aspect ratio.

Amen Paul. Not that I'm one to talk with my Saleens

I had 275's on the front of my car with more than 2 inches of drop and had no problems..... however, it seems to be different with every mustang for some reason

245's, you'll absolutely have no problems

I just can't find anything that I really like that is uncommon. It saddens me

My old 97 Cobra I ran Steeda Sport "B" Springs I believe they were called with Strange struts with 275/35/18s and never had an issue. That was probably pushing it though.
