New wheels...

[XxMustang281xX]

Ok, well I am finally paid off for my body kit. So, it's time for new wheels. I'm going with Saleens. Now, the question is either, 18x9's all around, with 275/35/18's, or those in the front and 18x10's in the back with 295/35/18's. The only issue with that is I can't rotate tires, but oh well, it looks better. And also I was wondering if 18x10's in the back with 295/35/18's will rub at all, like the quadshocks or inner fender or anything, because I want them to fit right without doing anything to the fender or quadshocks. Maybe I would be better off just doing 18x9's all around. Thanks for the advice guys.

Just get rid of the stang and buy a magnum r/t.
But to what you asked.If your funds are right then go with the 18x10's in the rear.You will be gald you did.It looks so much better.

The 295's wont rub at all?

 

[streetstang03]

315s wont rub either.

18x9's.. and dammit if i could find out how to post pics off my camera i would show you why..jk.. the file size of the pics is 972KB's, and its only allowing my to upload 71?? can anyone help.. anyways..any combo of chrome saleens look nice, but personally ive never seen anything looking better with saleen wheels than my setup. nice and wider in the back than the front, and fills up perfectly. probably the best thing ive dont to the car yet

Yea I could buy 1 inch wheel spacers from my uncle for $100...or less, that way I could do 18x9's all around and still rotate tires...

holy crap...he still posts?....your pap ever let you get that kenne bell?

btw 315's fit perfectly

 

[XxMustang281xX]

No not the Kenne Bell yet but the car is goin in my name when in September (yes you can do that here, some places you have to be 18). But after wheels I'm probably getting full exhaust then gears (3.73's). Then I can do whatever I want to it. Well, I've heard that 315's rub alot, and you have to flip the quadshock or get rid of it completely. I want to keep my quadshocks they way they are, so can I get 315's and not do anything to them?

18x10s WILL rub on your fenders if you're lowered and they are saleen replicas! i have first hand experience as mine got shredded (although i am lowered 1.75" in the rear. the replica's offset sits the rear rims out at least 1/2" further than authentic saleens.


its not a big problem tho. just roll up the little lip on the inside of your fenders and you'll have no other problems. they will NOT rub at all on the inner fenders or quad shocks and you'll be really happy you got the 10" wide ones over the 9"

Not true. My 18x10.5 with sportline w/o isolater does not rub

 

[TrueBlue03]

that is because your 03 cobras sit in further than saleen replicas AND you have 285's. Trust me, i've speant more time researchig this than any other thing on my car. one of my rear $310 tires was shredded until it was not driveable and the other is badly scraped up.

 

[XxMustang281xX]

Well now I'm kind of scared about rubbing...hmm..what if I get 295's instead of 315's? Or what if I just lower it an inch sometime in the future with 315's...

 

[TrueBlue03]

315's on a 18x10 saleen replica?

 

[streetstang03]

dude, flipping the quad shock and rolling the fenders are both simple. get the 295s or 315s and 4.10s. if you get 3.73s may God have mercy on your soul.

 

[XxMustang281xX]

yea

 

[XxMustang281xX]

why may god have mercy on my soul with 3.73's? and what if I just got 18x10's with 295's? any issue at all with them?

 

[TrueBlue03]

if you get the 18x10 saleen REPLICAS with 295s or bigger, then yes they will rub on your fender lip if you are lowered ...but you can roll them very easily and you will have no other problems with anything else.

 

[streetstang03]

w/ those heavy ass wheels, you're going to need 4.10s

 

[XxMustang281xX]

lol, well what if I'll only be lowered an inch with 295's? I just dont want to have to roll it or anything

 

[XxMustang281xX]

Now I'm thinking 18x9's all around with 275's...and 1inch wheel spacers in the back...no rubbing there fo' ****zle
