will these wheels/tires fit my 1994 Mustang?

302Feen · 03-03-2008

I am about to buy some new wheels and tires for my '94GT, and just wanted to check with you guys to see if they'll fit just fine...
the wheels are FR500 18x9
tires are Sumitomo HRTZ II 245-40-18
will these fit with no problems????

I live in Oklahoma and we'll have snow one day, and 75 degree weather the next. So are these good all around tires?

Well that i know of i think H stands for Snow use. I've never seen a tire with so many letters lol.

I have those same Sumi tires and they're awesome. The problem is that they are strictly summer tires. You'll have no fitment issues but I wouldn't dare use them in anything but summer and rain.

any recomendations on some good tires???
WHEN IT DOES snow here I don't drive my car, but other than that I drive it everyday, so I need something that will get exceptional traction in warm dry days and for the track, and ACCEPTable in wet/colder weather...

Kumho are good for all seasons. As well as michellens.

302Feen · 03-19-2008

are the Kumho's pretty stick (good traction)? and what about Nitto's????

With the Nittos you'll be in pretty much a summer tire as well.

Honestly, My sumi's have worked pretty well in colder temps. I've never done them in the snow and don't plan to. They're pretty darn good in the rain as well. When it's cold the compound just stays hard and won't get any traction. I'm just a bit north in KS and we have pretty similar winters.

Is there any way you can keep your current set up to run just in the winter time and then switch to the FR500 and Sumi's for other times? Just a thought.

well I have fuzion tires on right now with the stock wheels, the fuzions suck all year long really. LoL. But I could get some stick tires right now for the spring/summer/fall, and save up the money for some "ok" winter tires I guess. Do you know if the Nittos do well in rain?
That is a good suggestion though! Damn I love this site!!!!!!!!!

Well it's always nice to have the best of both worlds...

The NT555's and NT555R's both have pretty good wet traction.

I'm looking at a set of Cragers S/S Brand Classic Torque Thrust 17 x 8 with a 5 x 4.5 Bolt pattern. Will they fit my '94 GT?

the kumho ecsta mxs are some of the stickiest tires you can find for the price. just dont try taking a corner while flooring it on a dirt road. never a good idea, but that might not be the kumhos fault
