      Im running 245/40 zr18 on my 89 formula and they work great look good and are with in 3 % hight of the factory 245/50 16 that was stock. As long as the offset is good for your car they will fit hight wise.
      245/40/18 = 0.28% difference in hight 0.271% slower than stock approx.
      275/35/18 = 0.28% Differencr in hight 0.271% faster than stock approx.

        those look really good...I love the deep dish...I'm a big fan. Sweet looking rims...it'll definately make your Maro different. They should fit fine...just make sure the offset is correct.

          Those would look sweet. If you are looking for some black wheels check out ROH. Google ROH and you should find them. The price tag on those wheels is pretty steep, that is why I am redirecting you toward ROH, otherwise they look badass.
          Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up and totally worn out, loudly proclaiming......WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!

            The question I'd ask the seller is whether that picture represents the actual wheel that he is selling for the 4th Gen F-Body, and if so, "what is the offset?" It looks too deep to have the offset required for a 4th Gen.
