> [@texases](#): > > You said you have a larger set of rims-what tires will you use? Oooh, this is always fun! I had 275/40/18s on 18x10 wide wheels with a 45mm positive offset on all 4 corners of my S197. It really looked good with so much tire. 1.25 inch lowering springs, no spacers and no rubs. ---

Nice. The options for Mustangs are just about unlimited. ---

> [@texases](#): > > You said you have a larger set of rims-what tires will you use? yes i got 4 nice AM rims from a pick your parts junkyard for cheap, they are 19"x8.5", honestly i don’t know much about tyres at all. I will have to get different tyres that fit the new dimension of my rims. I don’t know rlly know the difference between different tyres. I’m not sure whether to go for good used tyres (cheaper) or newer grippier ones. I know a good tyre shop who work for cheap they told me to give them the dimensions and they’ll see what they have. ---

Apex wheels has a great wheel and tire guide. See link > **[S197 Mustang Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide](https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005526493-S197-Mustang-Wheel-Tire-Fitment-Guide)** > > S197 2005-2014 Mustang Wheel and Tire Fitment Guide > > EC-7 18x11" ET52 w/ 30/65-18 Slicks F&R > View all S197 Mustang Images > Vehicle Covered in this Guide2005-2014 Mustang > Chassis IntroductionFord... Your19x8.5s are close enough to 19x9s. Shows a 255/40/19 is the right size for that wheel. 255s will fit your car well. They list a few tire models and their uses, too. Depends on the weather you need to deal with. ---

> [@Beancounter](#): > > Good advice. I’ve recently seen a Jaguar S Type R, 144,000 miles, with the Turbo Charged Ford for V8 for about the same price of the mods. I ran across an add on FB for an 1 of 445 1987 Dodge Shelby Charger with the 2.2L turbo 4 for $2500 obo. Says it needs carpet and the turbo may need rebuilt, and some lunkhead painted the thing yellow when it is supposed to be 1 of 445 maroon colored version for that year. If I had the extra spending cash, I’d be interested in it since it’s a rare vehicle, just not a desirable one. I know I would probably spend more on the paint job than the car would be worth whole and fully functional, but it would be a neat car to own. ---

> [@santos.orenga\_180962](#): > > He’s my room mate and best friend, he would have to drive me around if anything happened to my car so its in his best interest that it doesn’t blow up. but i do understand how the installation would be the challenge. i was hoping that with a couple of hours for as many days as it needs and a lot of youtube and patience we’d make it happen, but that would be ambitious Gosh, I wish I were young and dumb again. ---

RE: Young and dumb or young and naive. In the companies I’ve worked for over the years, the biggest breakthroughs in new ideas often came from the enthusiastic young employees with a “we can do anything” idealistic attitude.
