i went to pick up my 18 9 y2k cobra r wheels last night. the r in pretty descent shape not really too bad. i got 2 good 265/35/18 kumho tires. should i put them on the front and put something like 275/40/18 on the rear. i would like the widest tire possible without having to pay $200-$300 for them. i will also be lowering my stang about 1.5 inches with some cc plates

what r u talkin about. someone else said they have 17's. i have 18's. there is some curb rash on all 4 wheels but just where the lip is beside the tire. i was figuring if i had a bigger tire it may cover it up.
