hey guys I currently have a 2002 mustang gt with minor bolt ons and im trying to sell it to get a '00-'04 lightning. i have 315 nitto drag tires in the back, they were obviously kinda expensive... will these fit the stock lightning rims? I wasnt sure how wide they were. thanks...

 

I think the 305/45/18s are pushing it on the stock rims. Not sure if a 315 will bulge too much.

I'm sure someone else will chime in.

Good luck on getting an L.

 

thanks, anyone else? im going to the bank today to try and get pre approved...

 

what size rim is on the mustang.?

 

On the OEM L wheel I'd go no bigger than 305's, I know theres a L running an OEM Viper wheel package, thats a 335 but I know dam well the wheels are wider than 9.5 inches.

 

295/45/18's are stock for lightnings. 315 wouldnt be a probem I dont think, but I would worry abou thte sidewall being too small and looking rather wierd. Im sure you didnt have a 315/40/18 on ur mustang. Maybe you did though, if so it would work im sure.

 

ah come on man spring for some 22's if your gonna go with an L. but yeah 315 sounds to big for the stock wheels since 295 is recommended. Im sure you could get away with a 305 but that does you no good

 

yeah someone told me the L oem rims were 17's but he was obviously a dedede, mine are 17's and what sucks is I just bought the tires but now im going to try and sale the stang for 14,500...thanks for all the input guys!

 

Gen 1 Ls came with 17s...
good luck with the hunt for an L. you wont be disappointed

 

yeah good luck with the hunt, you will be suprised what great deals pop up on eBay as well if your patient.

 

shop around a bit, I got my new goodyears at my local ford dealer for 800.00 out the door, that included mount, balance, tax, disposal, blah-blah blah
