[QUOTE="Dave07997S, post: 8333956, member: 10915"] If you are talking what would safely fit or what works best the answer would be different. A 9.5" wide wheel will not support a 305 width tire. In fact most 305 tires will require at a minimum a 10.5" wheel. A 285 IMHO is the widest you would want to go for a 9.5" wide wheel and even that is going to be pinched a tad. Keep in mind that D/R's in 305's, well at least the Nitto's run narrow so that's why they will work sometimes with the OEM wheel and even then Nitto recommends a 10" wide wheel for their D/R. If you are at all into handling the widest you will want to run on the OEM wheel is a 285, in fact you can run 285s on all 4 corners. To run a 305 properly it should have at a minimum a 10.5" wide wheel. If you go to tire rack and plug in the size (couldn't find a tire on tire rack with a 305 section width in a proper 18" size for the Mustang) you will see that the minimum recommended wheel width is 10.5".
