Tires not wheels
So Im not starting a wheel size debat :) but what I want to know the best tire sze.
I am going to buy Michelin Pillot super sports tires just want to get the best tire size. Bellow is what I am thinking ( I have already ordered the wheels) front 255/35ZR20 Back 285/35ZR20 What do you think ?? 2011 GT 5.0L Thanks SDF |
I always like a tire width/wheel combo that completely fills out the wheel well without sticking out beyond the body panel.

Not too sure what can fit behind the s1897 chassis, but on my new edge i have 265's up front, and 285's out back, and the 285's are not bad, but seem to be a little narrow for my 18X10 rim. So depending on the rims it might be alright. What rim size do you have out back ?

Best for what? Best appearance, or best handling? If you're after best handling, you shouldn't go with such a large difference in the sizes front to rear.

As mentioned earlier the wheel width plays a big part in things

cheers Ed front 255/35ZR20 = 10.04 wide and 27.03 tall back 285/35ZR20 = 11.22 wide and 27.85 tall |
Well then those are good choices. Diameter and width are a nice fit for the wheel openings, and they are readily available sizes.
cheers Ed |

how about 255/40/20 front and 285/35/20 out back

Just out of curiosity what is the best handleing tire size (in 20's) ??
I was also thinking of going with wider front tire 265/35zr20(10.43 wide 27.30 tall) back 285/35zr20 (11.22 wide 27.85 tall) stock all around is 245/45 19 = 9.65 wide 27.68 tall this is the toughest dession so far |
