    Was wondering what size rim and tire i can fit?
    Will a 18" fit in the rear?
    Also i have cut my springs and was wondering how this will effect rubbing and what nots??
    I plan on running a seventeen in the front don't ask why just wanted to do something different and sort of give it a jack'd up look LoL...
    I found a site where i can get a set with tire for around 650.00
    The guy emailed me and aske for size and offset don't have a clue thats why i'm asking..

    Maybe you should do some research. 650 bucks is alot to spend on something you don't know anything about ;)

    14's and 18's will all be the same overall height if done correctly (aka no jacked up look).

    You could fit 20's all the way around if you want...though I don't suggest it.

    The width is what you need to worry about...9" will fit if the backspacing is just right...8's are alot easier to fit without knowing what you are doing though.

    Look on ebay for 8" wide mustang wheels...they will say what backspacing and lug pattern they are (you will need the 4 lugs of course).

    Only if he cut 2.5 or more coils off...otherwise it works and feels just fine.

    No i only took 1.5 off just steering is a little more touchy and keeps you busy.
    Was going to stay with the same tire profile for 17 and 18" just wanted to give it the illussion sort of speak..
    I also wanted to bring the tires out sort of flush with the wheel flare and was wondering if i could get away with spacers or find an offset wheel to give me what i iwas looking for.
