You can run a 295 but depending on the brand it m may bulge a tad on the lip.. 285 would be a good choice also.
I'm running 255s up front IIRC.. Not sure what sizes will fit on an 8" rim, I'm sure a 275 would but it would be cutting it close.
Ok good, I'm running 245 up front and 275 out back

Lemons: What offset did you go with? Guessing Front 40/Rear 38? Did you need any spacers?

Yes.. Not sure about the front.. I told them on the phone as long as they fit with no modification to send them my way.

No spacers.

Very Nice.. I don't see why you can't order 4 "rear"s for a x9 set all the way around.

Do your rears differ from the fronts besides being 1 inch larger at all?

The lip is bigger on the rear... 3.5 opposed to 2.5..

As far as I know they will let you order 4 rears..

The reason I put "'s there is because one of the dealer pages I go to lists the x9's as "rear wheels".


I should probably just call but I can't help and be lazy about it, I need to get my exhaust over the axle before wheels, I got tailed for a few blocks just a couple of days ago and I bet he saw my dumps. Either that or me pacing this mustang.. but it was a couple of chicks.

I agree from your thread Lemons that the 18's look small, but the 19's just over do it in my opinion...

Maybe the option is black 19's...

I'll stick with 18's but.. can take that into consideration.

18.5... Problem solved!

It would look good with 18s or 19s.. I think I am happier with the 18s.. But would have to see 19s in person before I made my decision..
