first post - 12/7/2007 9:31:32 AM    claudia9   Posts: 8 Joined: 12/7/2007 Status: offline OK, this is the first time I've done this, so bear with me.  I'm a 52 yr. old married man, 2 kids-26 yr. old son (who owns an '03 GT) and 21 yr. old daughter - haven't gotten her into the 'stang corral yet!  I currently own a torch red '05 GT bought used with 1,600 miles.  It's had a JLT cold air kit, SCT tune and JBA axle-backs added, along with rear window louvers, Cervini's Mach I style chin spoiler, blacked out rear wing and Steeda-style hood treatment. This forum stuff is new to me, and I'm somewhat computer challenged, so excuse me for being long winded and not a "texter!"  Soooooo..... Hi, folks! Post #: 1

Nice to find out for sure that some interests don't fade away just because the AARP card came in the mail, eh?  And I may be able to help with any tire/wheel questions (18 does seem to be where you find most of the top-shelf street performance tires in sizes big enough for these cars).

Thanks for your answer, it's lookin' like the 18's will be it.  Think I can get a 275 width on the rear wheels (8.5")? (in reply to Stoenr) Post #: 5

Looks like these boards will be a real trove of info - thanks for your input, I really appreciate it! Gotta go, time for my Geritol infusion (in reply to Norm Peterson) Post #: 6

RE: first post - 1/9/2008 7:51:35 AM    claudia9   Posts: 8 Joined: 12/7/2007 Status: offline For Norm Peterson: Norm, will a 285 series tire fit on a 8.5" wide wheel?  I'm thinking of 285/35 or 40 -18 on an 18x8.5" wheel for the rear of the '05 GT. (in reply to Norm Peterson) Post #: 7

RE: first post - 1/9/2008 1:05:22 PM    90LX2.3   Posts: 341 Joined: 12/11/2007 Status: offline Neither one of those would fit (285/35/18 or 285/40/18) To run those you would need atleast a 9.5x18in wheel. _____________________________ 1983 Mustang SSP - droppin in a t5 and mild 306 1990 Mustang LX 2.3l -25th anniversary- (in reply to claudia9) Post #: 8
