[QUOTE="cp85gt, post: 14132117, member: 124694"] There are several 18 x 10 wheels that clear the 15" Brembos ( BBS, PFO1, Team Dynamics), so you don't have to run 19" wheels if you don't want to. I went with the sizes I did to keep a stagger while keeping the front rear tire diameters about the same. The 30 series tires are about 1" shorter than the stock tire sizes. The 295 Michelins are a little pinched on a 10" wheel but the tire shoulder is still fairly square. In terms of "getting the tread to the ground" if the tire is way to wide for the rim, like a 325 on a 10" wide wheel, then you can have problems with the steering feeling loose and squirmy. A 275 tire would feel more responsive to drive on but these heavy mustangs need all the tire they can get if you plan to autocross and open track. If I get serious and get a dedicated set of track wheels and tires I would get a set of 18 x 10 wheels and run some Continental 305 scrub slicks on them for cheap, or some new BFG Rivals in a 295 35 18 size.
