Anyone who knows the specs for Mustang wheels and tires I could really use some help. I am thinking of buying a set of, Chrome 18' FR500 Wheels (18x9). The tires that I want for the front are Sumitomo HTR Z ll 245/40-18. For the back I am looking at two Sumitomo HTR Z ll 275/40-18. I am planning on putting these on a 1994 Mustang Lx V6. What I would really like to know is am I going to run into any problems with the width of the wheels or tires? I believe the wheels and front tires will fit without problems, but I am not completely sure. What I am most worried about is the width of the rear tires. Anyone who knows whether or not this setup will fit my car, please let me know.

5 lug pattern, cant remember the specifics on that...but we are a 45mm offset. Mustangtuning.com has some nice wheels that fit the S197's.

They are a 5-Lug Pattern and I am getting the wheels off of MustangTuning.com, but not the tires.

You shouldn't have any problems with the tire width. My bud is running AFS 18 x 10.5 with 26mm offset wheels wrapped by 315/35's on the rear of his '95. His front wheels are AFS 18 x 9 with a 24mm offset with 245/40 tires. His turning radius is affected just a little bit - if he turns the wheel to full rotation the inner part of the wheel rubs against the front sway-bar. But only if he turns really hard, otherwise it's all pretty normal. He might be affected because he has Cobra front sway-bars which are really thick. So you might be okay.

Hope this helps.
