#1 of 39 Mustang Wheels and Tires by jt2000gt Aug 01, 2006 (6:17 pm)
I am finally putting a new set of wheels on my mustang gt. I have chosen to put 18" Diablo wheels on it, but want to increase the tire size from a P245 to a P265. Will their be enough room? Replies to this message: akirby (Oct 29, 2006 3:20 pm)

I have a 1989 Mustang that I THOUGHT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. When I checked the connections at the tank I DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER.I replaced the fuel pump relay and still no power. I need help on what to check next. filo Replies to this message: akirby (Oct 29, 2006 3:18 pm)

Replying to: jt2000gt (Aug 01, 2006 6:17 pm) As long as you keep the outside diameter the same size it won't be a problem. Tirerack.com has a good chart that shows the diameter for different sizes. This will tell you what series you need for a 18" 265 to keep it the same size as stock.
#5 of 39 What PSI is Best? by u04601 Dec 04, 2006 (8:57 pm)
Bought a new 2006 GT during the Thanksgiving weekend sale. After a week, after I washed the car, I checked the tire pressure and found all four tires were at 25psi. The tire specification for the Pirelli P235/55 ZR17 98W M+S said the maximum pressure should not exceed 51psi. What is a good pressure for everyday driving?

Replying to: u04601 (Dec 04, 2006 8:57 pm) Why don't people read their owner's manual? There is a placard or sticker in one of the door jambs that will tell you the correct pressure. Replies to this message: u04601 (Dec 05, 2006 2:12 pm) akirby (Dec 05, 2006 3:47 pm)

Replying to: akirby (Dec 04, 2006 9:26 pm) Attually, I had read the owners manual, but did not find the recommended pressure. Thanks for pointing out the sticker on the door jamb. It recommends 32 psi, far below the Max psi and 25% higher than where I received the car at. Of course, having Ford recommend a lower psi than the Max shown on the tire reminds me of the Explorer fiasco. Hope there are no issues here.     Replies to this message: akirby (Dec 05, 2006 3:47 pm)

Replying to: u04601 (Dec 05, 2006 2:12 pm) Nobody ever recommends the max on the tire. That is the absolute limit of safety and should never be used as a recommendation. You can usually go a little higher than the recommendation since that's normally a compromise for ride quality. 32-26 should be fine - just depends on how you like the ride.   The owner's manual tells you where to find the sticker.

Dealers underflate tires to make the ride seem smoother on test drives. Replies to this message: mschmal (Apr 17, 2007 10:04 am)
#10 of 39 Custom Wheels by merinofr Jan 02, 2007 (3:07 pm)
I currently own a 2001 V6 Mustang with custom 17" chrome wheels. I am looking into buying a 2007 GT and would like to keep my 2001 Chrome wheels. Will my 2001 Wheels fit the 2007 Mustang? A little help please. Replies to this message: riverron (Jan 08, 2007 9:12 am)
