I'd have to say that 18s would fill the wheel wells so much nicer than the stock 17s. However, i am kinda partial to my stocks.

Since you already have the 17s, I'd go with the 18s, they'll give your stang some style!

The key words should be...were using. I chewed thru those radials so fast! I just put on the stock size, 275-40s. They're actually not a bad price on www.discounttiredirect.com at $159 a tire. I'm thinking of getting a few more for the track.

lol really? why'd you chew thru them so fast? the tire quality sucks or you just liked the idea of being able to grip and always went fast? lol. oh and hey are our tires 275 all the way around, or 245's in front?

No, the quality is great! Just when your doing burnouts in the box and making runs, they don't last long. Yes, our tires our 275 all around.

this looks like a good deal right here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7941874262&category=66484 but what is a tire spacer? oh and would the 18's slow my car down a lot cuz it would have to pull more?
