Wheel model/color opinion and what's the widest tire size that will fit?

Super D · May 30th, 2009, 02:28 AM

Hi guys, newbie here, not sure where to put this (mod's feel free to move it, I couldn't find wheel/appearance section, please correct me if I screwed up).

I'm planning a wheel upgrade, 20". What's the widest tire I can fit in back without rubbing?

Thank you for your advice. Currently, I'm running Nitto NT555 tires (265/35/18 Front and 285/35/18 Rear).

Thinking of upgrading

Here it is now with deep dish Bullit 18"....

And here's what I'm thinking of going with: HRE P40 20" in gloss charcoal ... what do you think?

JiMi_DRiX · May 30th, 2009, 02:31 AM

To be honest, I like the 18's better. They fit the car better, the look, the style. 20's just dont look right on Mustangs in my opinion.

usafimj · May 30th, 2009, 02:33 AM

I like those 20's

Jucostud · May 30th, 2009, 08:03 AM

with that lowering kit your gonna want to get 295/30/20's in the back and 255/35/20 in the front. toyo proxy 4's and general exclaim uhp's are the only brands you will find in that size that are affordable. goodyear and perelli make a tire in that size, but no tire is worth $500 bucks on a mustang. I would get the generals. Great tire for the money. If you can't find them anywhere else, get them from tire rack.

Those HRE's look pretty sexy with the black!

Robdawg80 · May 30th, 2009, 09:05 AM

those charcoal 20's look nice

08blkgt500 · May 30th, 2009, 09:13 AM

either way, thats one sick mustang!

Goldcomet · May 30th, 2009, 12:28 PM

+1 on the Exclaim UHP. Have them on our 02 GT and a good tire.... especially for the price.

StangGTR07 · May 30th, 2009, 01:37 PM

Those 20's look good. Love my toyo proxes s/t, good ride and handling and good loooking tread pattern.

I'm running 265's up front now, so hoping to stay with same width. Definitely planning on 295's for the rears.

right now you have an 18x9 and an 18x10. When switching to 20's you will most likely have a 20x8.5 and 20x10. A 265 on a 8.5 is a little big. would stick with a 245 or 255.

Seabee · May 30th, 2009, 10:39 PM

I have 20x10 in the back and there 315's by...i think 35? not sure, but they fit great, up front is 285, and lowered too

Jucostud · May 30th, 2009, 10:52 PM

its probably a 315/25/20 and 285/30/20. I think the saleen has more room up front for bigger tires too.

IHVOCD · May 30th, 2009, 10:55 PM

Here's what I"m running! Toyo Proxe 4"s 255-35-20 & 295-30-20

Jucostud · May 30th, 2009, 11:04 PM

Seabee · May 30th, 2009, 11:55 PM
