What about these tires...
I do not know much about rims/tires, but am looking at getting a set. Here is what I am looking at now.
http://www.americanmuscle.com/charco...19x9-0512.html Any suggestions on the setup (tires to get and such)? Also, I am still rolling on the standard set that came on my stang, what would be a good front and rear setup that will work with factory equip? And one more thing, what about springs to get it about an inch lower? I want to try to not sacrifice ride comfort or clearance too much. I would like to get more grip on take-off, that is for sure! Thanks in advance. |
All I see is a link to wheels...no tires.
You will get the typical RTR/Drift haters, but do what you want to do. Eibach Pro kit will give you about 1", as will Ford P springs. As for tires, Hankook Ventus V12, Continental ExtremeContact DW are good affordable tires, and if you want to spend a little more, Michelin Pilot Super Sports. |

Look at the Avant Garde M310 wheels. I bit less on price and the quality is great. I've ran these wheels on our boss on multiple track events without issue. Give us a shout on pricing:)

I'd say go for the charcoal. To me, the all black wheel thing is getting played out very fast especially with stock cars coming that way from the factory now. As DirtyD stated, go with some Ford P Springs. Should something go wrong, you may be able to argue about warranty since they are a genuine Ford product. I got them for that reason and that I also wanted a 1inch drop. Tire sizing can be a little tricky as some manufacturers measurements are different than others. Sort of like buying shoes. I have seen a few cars with as wide as 315s on the back, lowered. Not sure what mods they had if they had to do anything to accommodate that. Millimeters to inches is 25.4/1. So for a 9.5inch wheel I would not recommend going any wider than a 275, but that is me. I have 10inch wide rears and bought 285s for those. I plan on getting either 255s or 265s for my front 9inch wide wheels. -Alex |
Like the rims but still prefer forgestars.
Also if you have the option get either 20 or 18" . 19" tires are expensive over both of those and harder to find good used sets. |
You can actually got with a 285 on a 9.5" wheel, but optimum contact patch is 275.

Eibach Pros worked well for me. On my car they dropped me 1" in front and 1-3/8" in back. I'd like to be 1/4" lower in back, but otherwise its a very nice compromise. No road dramas and enough clearance for the speed bumps, railroad tracks, curbs, and etc.
