Need some rim help(Mostly Suggestions)

Nope no rotating with staggered sizes. Mounting 18x10s out back isn't an issue. The only thing you MIGHT have to do is flip the quad shocks.

Chances are pretty good you will also have to bend down the e-brake bracket, beat out inner wheel wells, and roll fenders if going with normal size 315s.

Or he could just avoid it altogether and run 295s since 18" 315s are EXPENSIVE...

If your going black, get gunmetal saleens. Those on black seriolsy looks so tuff!!! There was a pic of a black new edge saleen I seen with gunmetal saleens and white writing on the tires and it look soo badass

Well, im probably not gonna go with a 315, we were thinkin 295 for the rears. It took convincing but he is on board for the staggered sizes :dancing6:. And im around black dudes pretty much all day everyday b/c of football so i might be able to pull of chrome haha.

Go with 305's if your sticking on the 18" path..

ScottyDsntKnow · Apr 1, 2008

305s are pricey too. Not saying that 295s are cheap but they're not unreasonable. I actually got the deal of the century on a set of BFG 295s on clearance for $99 each at tirerack. But that was a few years ago and I just haven't got around to lowering the car yet.

Here is how they are compared to 275s.

when i bought my saleen rims i paid like 90 bucks per on the bfg also, and now 3 years later i just dropped 500 on the rears

ScottyDsntKnow · Apr 2, 2008

Yeah I know right wtf is up with these prices??? I probably got the same tires you did around the same time. Mine have just been sitting in the basement waiting on me to actually put them on lol.

How much money are you looking to spend? Polshed BBS Rk plasmas look amazing but are pretty pricey. For a cheaper wheel you can't beat saleens in any finish.

I agree 100% with polished RK's. They would look SICK on a black wingless car.

ScottyDsntKnow · Apr 2, 2008

I picked up a set of replica polished Saleens for about $550 shipped on ebay a few years back as well. 18x9 in the front and 18x10.5 out back. IMO they're the best bang for the buck street rims and they look amazing.

GEKicker08 · Apr 3, 2008

Just got done looking at the BBS Rk's and i think im in love with that look. Those are some sick rims, though they are kinda pricey i may have to indulge. Stickin with a 295 or 305 tire though. I don't want to do too much to the wheel wells of the car, we just don't have the time since we are selling my other truck and my project jeep...

ScottyDsntKnow · Apr 3, 2008

Just took a look at the RKs and I actually think they're kinda meh. The FR500s are very similar and look about 1,000,000 times better IMO.

i always though the mach 1 rims looked best on the sn cars: black, chrome, or anthracite bullitt rims are the safe bet, they look good on any mustang of any color
