Any one have any pics of a beefier tire on a 17 or 18 inch wheel? I've been looking but have not been able to find too much!

Currently running 17x10.5 rears with 315/35/17 on the rear on my 01 GT. Just wondering if there is any beefier tires I could run?

Thanks!

Are you looking for a new edge mustang? What size do you currently have?

yeah a new edge, my bad! I will edit that into the original post



I currently have 17x10.5 rears with 315/35/17 I have seen some pics of guys running 305/45/18 which is a pretty big tire. Wondering if there is anything a little smaller?

I run a Toyo TQ drag radial in 315/35/18 which is a lot taller than the typical 315/30/18. It's a 27" tall tire and fills up the rear nicely.

Or if you're on a 17" wheel I've always wanted to try a 295/45/17 Mickey Thompson.

I'm on AFS 10.5 rears with 295/45/17 ET Street Radials, I would like to go wider though for appearance.

M&H makes a 325/45/17 tire, I've seen pics posted on here before.

Yulla - those look good! Have anymore pics? Did you have to roll the fenders or anything?



I have seen pics of people running 345/40/17s but I think they are a little overkill

I can guarantee you'll have to roll the fenders for those.

Fenders are not rolled. It does have an SRA with HR Race Springs, the wheels tuck in nicely and it's not super low.

i wouldnt do any thicker than 35 just looks too bulky IMO here is a few options, just gotta have the right stance too look good, too high with bulk tire dosent look as good then if its slammed. All these rims are 10.5
