Wheel And Tire Help Please


I feel bad even posting this question, but without being able to test fit these wheels and tires I'm very concerned I will make a mistake.

These are not good tires, and they have low tread, so I care more about the wheels then anything. These are a phenomenal deal I found locally.

I would appreciate the communities help... How will these fit, and what spacer do you think I will need to run these.

Wheels = 18x8.5 (Front)
18x9.5 (Rear)

Tires= 245 40 18 (Front)
265 40 18 (Rear)

Do you know the offset? That will have a huge impact. And these have the correct PCD for an FD?

They're 5x114.3mm (4.5 inch) and center bore of 67.1mm or larger?

Mustang fitment I'll bet..... those tires are too tall for an FD, sidewall should be a 35 aspect ratio vs a 40. OD for those tires is 25.7 inch front and 26.5 inch rear, for an FD you want to keep the front very close to 25 inches and the rear similar although some go as high as 25.7 or so.

I'll also bet that setup weighs a ton. I hope they're a screaming deal

Thankyou for the quick response
Yes, they're 5x114.3mm and have a center bore of 67.1mm

Your exactly right. They were off of a Foxbody Mustang.

The tire size is 245-40-18 (Front)
265-40-18 (Rear)

They are a screaming deal.

All wheels are in immaculate condition, and the rear tires have 50% tread, Fronts have 80%
