I'm looking to get 18x9 for the front and 18x10 for the rear with a 24mm offset from Mustang Tuning. I'm thinking about keeping 275/35/18 on the front and 315/30/18 on the rear. Are those correct tire sizes and will I NEED spacers or anything to make the 18x10's fit on the back? Thanks!

That is the correct tire size. I am not sure about the wheel spacers though. I don't think you need them.
I am sure you have researched tire prices and stuff, so you know that the tire selection for 305 and 315s are pretty slim and expensive. It can be alot cheaper to stick with 285 or 295s in the rear. Just wanted to throw my .02 in.
BTW post pics when you get them. I want to ditch my 17s for 18s in the future.

Hell no you dont need wheel spacers in the back especially with a tire that wide. I have 295s on the back and I am VERY pleased on how they look. I would have gone wider, but Kuhmo didnt make it any wider, and I already found a killer deal on the front tires.
Also, I think 275s would be perfect, I have 265/35 and I wish they were just a tad wider.
GET HOME ALREADY!!!!!!!!!

You may want to go 10.5 inches wide in the back with 315s. That may be too much tire for just 10s. I could be wrong. I know that some of have done it, but some say that is not safe.
I have 295 on 10 inchers. Wanted to go wider, but decided against.
Also it is hard to find 315s that are not Drag Radials. But maybe you want those.

they sit out far enough to the point where i had to roll my fenders because they gashed my tires.

I agree that 275s would be perfect for the front. That's what I'll be looking for next. I was a little gun shy because 2 tire shops told me 255 was as wide as I could go in front. I didn't even consider buying from them. After listening to the post on this forum I went with 265s. Mine is lowered 1.5" and I live in an area with terrible roads, but I've had no problems with scraping or with sharp turns.

I have 17s and my 275s in the front fit just fine. I have 40 series but if you get a 35 series you will be fine.
Alof of people (including myself) have problems running 265 and up in the front, sticking out of the fenderwell with the saleen replicas, mine are from mustang tuning, the ZR kind
i just ordered my 18's, the rears are the easy ones to figure, but i need to really decide on the fronts. i hate the stretched look as much as i hate tires that stick out. maybe I should get 255 or 265's

The 275s do stick out on mine and I don't like that very much either. You might be OK with the 265s. I kinda think the 255 might be alittle stretched

What width front fims do you want? If you can get the rims in 8 wides for the front you won't have an issue with them sticking out
