Like it says, I was looking online and found that there were two different sizes in a 305 width, 45's and 35's. Is there a difference in anything but size? I believe one was a R18 and the other said ZR18? Which would be better for some 18x10.5 wheels, or should I just say screw it and get the 335's?

You cannot fit the 305/45/18 on a 03/04 cobra, w/ or w/o a solid axle that much I can tell you. Damn thing I had my weight jackers lifted max 2 1/2"s and I still couldnt get enough outta of it for the suspension to travel when you comin off a curb. It sucked, cuz those big tires looked mean on a cobra!!!

I still am lost how anyone is running a 28" tlltire on a 2001- 2004 mustang?????

Ok, so the 45's are about a 28" tire instead of what, 26" right? Glad I decided to ask first instead of just buying the slightly cheaper 45's. I figured the sidewalls would be a little bigger, but not that much...
