I found a set of 4 rims & tires for sale online and I wonder if they will fit . The front are 2=18"X9" rims with a 255/45/ZR18 that I know will fit. The rears are two deepdish rims size 10.5" with a 50mm offset and 2 tires 285/40/ZR18's. Just wondering if they will fit under the car and not stick out of the wheelwell. Thank You for your help

^ I agree with Sexy nerd  (< I just stole that from your sig )

You running an S197 ('05+ Stang)? I have never seen 10.5"s on one, but I think it will work. I know 10"x20"s are standard Saleen upgrade works fine and with 275/40's and 1.5" drop, no less!!!! So I would think that you would be fine especially with 18" rims. The only question I have is with off-set. You could correct that with a spacer to move the wheel outward as +50 mm off-set is a little higher than normal around +40 or so.

                          Go for it

Thank you for your advice on the 10.5" rim fitting. Good price for the set of 4 wheels & tires at $1250 + $137.00 for shipping but I think I am just going to buy from American Muscle so I can get a 10" with the right offset.
