Staggered Tire Recomendations - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Bruisbe · 04-11-2016, 01:31 PM

Ok, I just ordered some 18x9 rims and are trying to decide the tire size to go with.

Keep in mind that I have lowered my Mach just over an inch.

I have been toying with different ideas.

245/40/18 in front
265/40/18 in back

245/40/18 in front
275/40/18 in back

255/40/18 in front
275/40/18 in back

Those are the different options that I have priced out, however if you have different suggestions, please offer them up. When it comes to some of the staggered setups and lowered/larger tires, anything besides OEM starts to get muddy for me.

Thanks in Advance!!!

I would say go with the middle combo, smallest fronts and largest rears

I was kind of leaning towards that one as well, however was also thinking that putting 255/40/18's up front would give better traction in corners...

Not sure if it will make that much of a difference or not.

probably wont make a huge difference either way honestly, if anything get the larger front because it looks meaner haha but also think wider is also added weight for basically no reason.

The car handles better with a square tire setup.
