[QUOTE="Warhorse Racing, post: 1513530, member: 23098"] Here's a description of Wheel Offset from Tire Rack: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=101[/URL] Late Model Restoration and American Muscle (among others) sell rims specifically designed to fit our cars. They often list potential fitment issues caused by common mods. They also offer rim and tire kits that will fit most 94-04 Mustangs. Look at the "Tech Specs" and "Vehicle Fitment" sections for the rims and you'll find a lot of good information. Look at the kits they offer, and you'll see that 275/35/18 is a common tire size for these cars. On the correct rims, a 265/35/18 should fit most 99-04 Mustangs. But it is likely that you will need steering rack limiters (which are inexpensive and very easy to install). If your car is super-low, the tires could rub the fender lips (again, offset factors in; camber too). Also, if your car is super-low (on stock-style springs, shocks & struts), the handling will already be worse because you've limited suspension travel. I'm not sure what you mean by a "loss of handling" when installing larger tires. Do you mean tramlining? [/QUOTE]
