Fronts are 19x10
Rears are 19x11.5
The 19x11.5 setup in the rear would require a 56mm offset to ensure they don't poke outside the fenders.

If anyone has any questions regarding the fitment, feel free to reach out to us, always happy to help. :cheers:

So the 345 will not poke even a little ?
Does provide a slight poke, but no rub at all. We have verified the fitment in house. If you do go with a lower suspension than the Eibach Pro kit, you will be able to pull the tires in a little with resulting negative camber.

Dang this thread needs more pics!!!
More pictures you say? Here is a really nice one of our brother's beautiful triple yellow GT putting the Nitto NT01 305/30/19 front and 345/30/19 NT01R Racing compound rubber down to the pavement with the Project 6GR wheels in 19x10 35mm front and 19x11 50mm rear, lowered on the Eibach Pro Kit.

Keep in that we will be receiving 19x12 and 20x12 raw bespoke sizes soon for that extra special custom fit. :headbang::headbang:

The 20x11 with 50mm would be perfect for the wheel size, as for the tire size here is a example with a 315/30/20 Toyo R888 R-compound tires, which do run slightly wide and do bulge more than others.

Keeping in that even with the same tire size, depending on the exact brand and model of tire, the overall look as to the "poke" will vary. If you have a particular tire brand and model in mind, we can check the manufacturer's spec sheet and compare it to what we have used to ensure you do not get a poke on your setup. Hope this helps.

What are your thoughts on the fitment in regards to the poke?

I would like a set up that runs flush but the biggest tires that can make that happen :-)

On my 2007 Mustang I had the Toyo 255/40/20 front and 305/40/20 rear. None Lowered.

What would be the best set up for tires and wheel size for this look?

Curious if anyone on here has thrown the GT350 wheels and tire combo on their GT. I just did today and they seem to fit well. The only thing I'm hesitant about is the front as I only have about an 8th of an inch clearance between my tire and strut. Drove around town for a bit, did a few u turns smith some power in the throttle and have no wear marks on the tire as far as I can see yet. Anyone here deal with anything similar and what was the remedy? Spacers etc?
Setup:
Front: 295/35/19 with 19x10.5
Rear: 305/35/19 with 19x11

Bold move. I like it. The 1/8" clearance should be ok for you bud.
We would love to see some pictures if you have some.

Here is some more info gentlemen.

Here are the specs of the factory GT350 Shelby wheels

Front: 19x10.5 30mm with 295/35/19
Rear: 19x11.0 62mm with 305/35/19

We have had many client test fit them before. They will fit and will function, however the front wheel is much wider and lower offset than you need for the GT. The GT350 Shelby fenders are wider in the front to be able to accomidate the extra width and offset.

Normally on a GT, we have pinpointed the setup to a 10" with 35mm, or if you would like to use the 10.5, the offset would need to be higher to ensure the wheels stay inside the fender wells. Your current setup on the GT with the GT350 wheels in the front is placing the wheels 11mm further out then what we usually fit.

If you really would like to use the wheels on the GT, you can upgrade your front fenders to GT350 or other aftermarket fenders like Anderson Composites.

Hope this helps gentlemen, let us know if you have any other questions, we are here for you. :cheers:
