Thank you stang910 thats what i was looking for, any rubbing in the back with that size

 

[stang910]

No rubbing at all

 

[cdavila]

So the 50 offest is perfect and they dont stick out of the fender

 

[stang910]

Yeah it fits perfectly flush with the quarter panel.

I'm running 305/45/18's on my Racestars, no rubbing issues on my 14 GT. Probably would go with a 305/40/18 if I was to do it again...

Yes, I use an BMR adjustable panhard bar, but that's just because I'm lowered. If you go to the threads below, you'll see Terry's car with how the 305/45/18's look. I think he has a few other pics floating around SVTP as well that show the same set up.
I'm using the Nitto NT555R's.

18x10.5s will be fine, lots of tire options there as well,

let us know if you need any help

M&H 325/40/18's fit those rims well... The rims are on the heavy side at 24lbs each. I compared them to my 2010 SVT rim's and hey would only save 4lbs each. The 17x9.5 are a little lighter at 20lbs.

 

[cdavila]

Yeah my SVE series 2 19x10s are 25.30 lbs but every little bit helps, lol is everyone running DRs or street radials also.

Are you just running normal radials on the front? I have yet to buy front and was debating on the skinny rims but I want to drive to the track so the 7 inch front rims make more sense for me.

 

[beefcake]

if your running a radial on the rear, a radial on the front is fine, and they are about 1/2 the $$ of a drag tire.

215/55 60 or 65 depending on the height you want
26,27,or 28 "

 

[The Beast 2014]

The rear is MT streets so it's dot approved. Not sure if that counts as a radial or not. I am a rookie at all this stuff so still trying to figure it out.

 

[cdavila]

I was thinking of running the racestars in 18x10.5 and their 18x8.5bin front, i dont trust skinnys for my dd
