GT PP rear 275's on the front?

[robb]

Has anyone put their GT PP rear 275's on the front to see how they look and fit? Would be nice to have these all the way around for a few reasons...rotatable, more grip, looks, etc.

There is a thread where someone put 285s on the front, but mlthe offset is different front and read so the PP rear rim shouldn't work on the front

When in reverse

Oh I didn't know the offset was different. Hmmm.

The experiment I would like to see is if a 275/35/19 will fit on the 9" GTPP front wheel with enough inner tolerance to the suspension and stay within or flush to the fender.

The 275/40/19s on the rear are taller than the 255/40/19s on the front and in my opinion the front stance is slightly too tall even with the shorter 255/40/19.

The 255/40ZR19 Pirelli P-Zero tires on the front wheels of the Performance Pack Mustang GT are no taller (27.1") than any other OEM tire offered throughout the 2015 model line in any trim level.

It's a Mustang. You can put any wheels on you set your mind to:

True. In my opinion, the front appears too high no matter which set of OEM wheels and tires are used. The GTPP somewhat corrects it with the taller rear tire. The 275/35/19 should fit the 19x9 PP front wheel and would give the benefit of a "square" tire patch (same front and rear) along with additional lowering of the front (about 0.22" ground to fender). One detriment is that the sidewall would be slightly stiffer with the 35 ratio but probably not enough to upset the front/rear balance of the PP suspension.

275/40R19 will fit up front no problem, but the GT PP rear wheel will not fit on the front because of the high offset.

Use this site if you want to play around figuring out the right off set.

But to do it right you would need to know the clearances (to suspension, to wheel well with the wheel turned full lock, and to the fender) with the PP front wheel. That way you could tell if you are still good with a new size and offset.

The rear PP wheel and tire will fit with a spacer not WITHOUT. I can tell you i tried it. the tire rests on the strut so at least a 1/4" spacer will be needed. Plenty of room on the outside.
