Not really much more to see. My car is stock except for the wheels. I have a few more pictures here at a mustang wheel thread. Supsam86 also has pics of 315s on 17x10.5 at the link below.

No Rubbing issues. I have cornered pretty hard a couple of times and am sure that I have compressed the suspension all the way. I found these at cruizinconcepts.com.

I am looking into Concept One's CSL5.5 and the rears are 19x10.5 with a +20 offset. I am just wondering at +20 would I have any issues running a 315 tire or should I consider a 285 or 295 with fenders rolled.

BTW the 315's posted above really make me want to go that big...

When I had 295s they looked way bigger in person. Unless you really need the grip, I wouldnt go beyond that. I felt it was the perfect size for the 10.5 it was on.

I agree, 295 is perfect for 10.5. With 17s, they go from 275 to 315, nothing in between.
For 19s, in order to keep the overall diameter, you need less sidewall, less sidewall may be ok for stretch, but not reverse stretch.

Ohhh, 9" front...Theres a 38mm difference in wheel size and thats a dramatic stagger in terms of tire size. A 265/30 matched with 295/30 can work, just your front will bulge out an extra 4mm compared to rear. At least youre stagger will be close to oem spec.

I cant think of any other size that would make sense with a 295/30, on that 9" front, without looking silly. 315/30 with 255/35 front would work.

What about 285/35 out back and 255/35 up front?

Your sidewall in the rear will be 1.6% taller, so no it should look fine. I was going with 30 series because I like those on 19s with a wide tire. Personal preference.

295/35 can be done, its just a little tall. It can certainly work. In fact, see the first post of this thread for an excellent example. Hes even running a 255/35 front, but on a 9.5. You can pull it off.



edit-yes 255/285 works

Great combo I ran this for years.

I now run a 275/35, 295/35 combo. I liek pudgy tires and I have that now on all 4 corners. Most dislike the look though.

With your offset it will be tough to go much wider than a 295 even with a roll.

Thanks for the help! Now I have a good idea of what combo to run. Now I am just waiting for people to post up pics of those wheels since "Get Your Wheels" said he has sold some. I think they would look good on my ppw Z that has a V2 kit waiting for paint.

I like pudgy tires as well and I hope 285 will be enough for me because 295 may be pushing it.

Compressed some. Still needs to come completely off the lift and new alignment.
