HELP With Tires/W Ferrada FR3

Babar · May 12, 2017

Hello,

I was hoping one of you fine ladies/gents would be able to help me out.

I bought ferrada FR3 wheels in 20s for my black GT.

Front 9
Rear 10.5

I ideally wanted to go with front 275/35/20 and rear 315/35/20 in Nitto NT05.
the tire shop says it will be too bulge a lot.

I am after a somewhat meaty look with semi slicks.
Keeping in mind it would be lowered by 1, so any setup would not have to rub.

I have seen the thread on here with HRE wheels running 315/275 perfectly but the wheels are a bit wider too.

PS: Any insight or help would be appreciated, I am going crazy LOL

i had 305 on 10s so the 315 would fit fine .. what offset did u go with ?

I just bought FR1's, same size (20x10.5) and went 295/35 instead. Looks like plenty of meat for my liking. I'll send you a pic later tonight (because UPS only delivered 3 rims for some reason!?!?!?!)

Because of the offset being more aggressive a 315 will be hard to fit unless you want some serious camber.

My recommendation is a

275/35/20 & 295/35/20
275/35/20 & 305/30/20 ( you will need some good camber though about -2.8)

Quick pic of my FR1's thanks to Paul!!!

(I gotta put a small spacer on the front to put my center cap back on)

So, I finally went with Front 275/35/20 and Rear 295/35/20 Nitto Invo
I am in Sydney and the roads arent really the best. so to be safe I went with 35 profile.
I am second guessing myself and should have gone with 30 Profile.
