you will probably need the rear fenders to be roll only

Well if you run a tall tire your going to lose any drop the tein springs offer.. i'd say run a 40 series tire so at least the car will be an okay height. Also, they offer different offsets on the 17x9's. +22, +12 and +30 I believe.. maybe even +0 I'm not sure..

You would probably want +22 because I think +30 would hit the suspension in front. if you don't want to do any fender rolling and pulling. I would think 235/40(maybe 245) in back and 215/40(maybe 225) in front.. you should be fine with that

If I were you though i'd just roll the fender lips and run whatever tire size I felt like from 205's to 265's hahaha

probably the easiest way.. i wouldn't get a staggered offset set-up only because i feel weird about having same with+different offset wheels.. i dont know why, it just makes me uncomfortable knowing they're different for some reason

but yeah +12 and +22 would fit good.. but don't go trying to fit a 295 on there or anything like that, since you said you don't want to modify the body

and Radio, didn't you have to use a spacer on the stangs? and they were +24 right?

SOOOoooooo.... I just made an online purchase for some wheels... Now I need help buying tires/ maybe spacers


18x8,18x9 +35.
Going on a stock body and hoping to achieve "meaty" tires with a flush/minimal poke look.


friend is gonna give me some spare Falken tires to start off with, 245/35/18, and 265/35/18


Give it to me straight:
What do I need to expect from these wheels?
What will/wont fit?
Whats the best tire size to get so I can have some "meaty" tires? (Kinda wanted 255/40-265/40... The more tire front and back, the better... Kinda why I wanted 17s.)

NO over fenders. NO pull. I will roll the fenders but I want an OEM body look, flush wheels... maybe a TAD of poke is ok (with that in mind, what kind of spacers should I look to get? +5 front, and +10 rear?)


And if I have it all wrong, whats my worst case scenario JUST to be able to get the wheels to fit.
