You want to keep the front and rear tires close to the same diameter otherwise the ABS has a cuniption.Originally posted by Lucky SOB View PostHaha, couldn't wait! Don't worry - their time is short lived. I think I'm going to get staggered 18s and 17s to give the car some rakeCraigSemi Retired Street Racer2012 Lava Red Mustang GT 5.0 MT82GONE BUT NOT FORGOTEN

Innnnteresting. Lets say I run a 295/35/18 on the rear and a 275/40/17 on the front - think I'll be close enough?Originally posted by 9T8W66 View PostYou want to keep the front and rear tires close to the same diameter otherwise the ABS has a cuniption.

The rears would be almost 1/2" taller which I think is borderline for the ABS but I'm no expert.
Also remember your speedo will be off aswell if the tires are well over 25.6".CraigSemi Retired Street Racer2012 Lava Red Mustang GT 5.0 MT82GONE BUT NOT FORGOTEN

I will not BFH my car... let's get that straight right nowOriginally posted by Derek View Postwill that even fit? or are you planning to do some BFH work?
I may run a 285, still reading about people setups and what was required. It sounds like anything over a 300 series tire requires the BFH mod as far as I can tell so far. I did get the adjustable PHB so I can make sure the rear is perfectly centered and no BFH'ing will need to be done. If I do run a 285, I think I can safely mount it to a 9.5 wheel. Only problem with that, is I lose the DEEP dish... back to reading on tech (it's painful, really it is)
