Make stock wheel wider?

[ArtQ]

I have been stuck with the M&H's in the rain before and I was very suprised how stable they were on wet roads. As long as you are aware of the "posibilty" of loss of traction / getting loose, you will not have a problem.

I would agree... the Nitto DR is best for rain (but it's still a DR, so it's not great). But its also probably one of the worst at the track. It's defnitely not in the M&H or M/T league.

Total agreement from me... a semi-happy medium

I agree. Although it doesn't rain much here in SoCal, I have had the pleasure of driving in the wet stuff a few times on the M&Hs. I keep plenty of distance between me and the car ahead, and no hard corners, and they have been fine.

Hi Guys -This is my first post. I have also contacted Weldcraft about widening my 18 " bullitts. I was going with an additional 1.5" The car has Steeda Sport Springs. Does BF Goodrich make a tire that would match the fronts and still give that drag look like Stkjock's Shelby plus still clear the fenders? Thanks for your help- Tommy

The BFG KDW 2 and DR have a simliar tread pattern


As far as size if your wheels are gonna be 10" 275/40/18 or 285/40/18 will fit great IMO


DRAG RADIAL

KDW

BTW - I dont have a Shelby

I've got a pair of factory 08 bullitt wheels on the way back to me from weldcraft. I had them add an 1.5 inch to the inside and then sand smooth the weld. I'm putting on 305/35/18 nittos on the widened rears and 245/45/18 nittos on the front. I've also installed Steeda sport springs and adjustable panhard bar.

I have had 255s on the front for almost 3 years, but never nothing that narrow on the rear.

 

[NotQuik]

I figured out that i want to go with 295/45 18

how much wider should I go? and is the diameter right?

Nitto 295/45/18 555's on an 18x10 wheel:

That loooks good, what size tires are on the front? Reason I ask is that the side wall look shorter than stock.

 

[stkjock]

F -255/45/18 about 1/4" shorter

R- 265/40/18 about 7/8" shorter

Id say pink but she's blocking the rt front wheel so Its Blue for me
