hi der man. just my opinion...bf goodrich g-force t/a kwd.will do .just in my experience..coz i test drove some n some of my customers cars r pretty sweet actually coz it has more better traction during wet or dry n thread wear is awsome..its low profile n u have a total control on wet surface..its not that wider however i find that if u have a much wider tires n its lowered.n low profile....thats very bad for yur suspensions..most probably yur always setting yur toe n its pretty hard to allign those s**t...like 18's ....ok man tnx... j_uz1637920.1721527778

I've got 2003 18"x9" and 18"x10.5" Cobra Wheels on my 2000 GT. 245/35's are good on the front and I would recommend 295/35's on the back due to the wider wheel. These fat rear wheels and tires look awesome from behind, which is from where most people SHOULD see a mustang!!
