18x10 will not work all the way around in the back yes but fornt I really dont think it would work..Something would have to rub when turning the car lock to lock..
They wouldn't fit plush in the front, which would be illegal, unless you pick-up a SLA setup (mega $$$)
Check out www.mustangtuning.com for rims, they have good prices
Depending on offset/backspacing, 18X9 fronts with 265/35, and 18X10 backs with 285/35 will look nice

315's won't really fit on a 9" wheel.
You have the front right, 18x9 with 275/35/18's
Out back you can run 18x10's with 315/30/18's

Jason is right.like 275 are 285s is good on a 18x9 rims i would go 275 alittle safer.But a 315 on a 9 inch rims not safe..A 18x10 would be good for a 315..

Right, so all the advice I gave you over the phone earlier today matches what everyone else told ya.
18x9 up front with a 275x35x18 and 18x10s out back with a 295x35x18 tire, or a 305x30...
Even if you got 18x9 wheels all around and you decided to NOT go with the same tire size all around that would mean you cant rotate your tires, so you might as well get the 18x10's for the rear. My advice, dont make the same mistake i did and go ahead and get those 18x10s for the rear, especially if you want that wide meaty look in the back.

That's the same exact size I bought. I just received my set yesterday from Mustangtuning.com. Here's a few pics to help you out. Excuse the dirt. It's been raining so I haven't had time to give the car a good cleaning.

at least I don't
I was thinking illegal in a mustang law sense... LIke... Altezza tail lights on a mustang are in violation of mustang law article 332.5...

I like Pro3 and all I got was this crappy CT.
i think 275 on front is best set up for most(unless your hardcore drugracer. then skinnies up on front)
As far as rear goes, Unless you want the "wow" facter, I would stick with same size as upfront. I don't, and I wish i could so that i could rotate'em.
