Front wheel poke out with the 305? Or is it the angle of picture

Mine poke nearly an inch. Never measured it so it may be slightly less, but poke a good amount.

You think a 285in the front would solve that

It will be close. Slight poke I bet with that. 275 Will probably be flush, the offset of the rim may keep the 285 from being flush. I know others plan to do a 285 set up on front right away so may be worth waiting to see what others say. I kept the 305 set up when I got new tires in late January.

Tire change won't help the poke, it's that Ford got the offset of the wheel wrong. Different wheels would solve the poke issues.
[MENTION=33583]Infidex[/MENTION], just out of curiosity, have you ever tried seeing if your rear wheels fit on the front? If not, would you be able to try at some point?

Maybe some pictures will help!

Went out to take a picture, but wheels are turned and I need to back out a little to straighten or my floor tiles will seperate, can get a pic tomorrow when I take it out for a drive. Here is one I have posted before. Doesn’t clearly show it but helps see some of the poke. Rear are pretty flush and front poke a decent amount as the square set up doesn’t account for front fenders being more narrow than rear.

Thank you! I wonder if a 285 in front will hide some of the poke? Is your car lowered or stock?

I need to find some time and get a new jack. Mine is like 1/8 inch too short to get under my jacking rails. Rough measurements show the back spacing is an inch difference front to back, looks like front brakes would clear but I don’t think there is an extra inch on inside of front to handle the rears sitting inward an extra inch. Probably rub when turning if they fit. Front on back would poke an inch if you put them there, but assume you would buy another set of rears to keep them same.

Stock ride height. 285 definitely better than 305 on poke. May not eliminate it all but will help, I nearly went this route but kept the square set up for now.

Those do not look like the right tires.

SC2 are sitting in garage. I put these on back in early Feb, the SC2s it comes with won’t last but a few thousand miles on the regular roads. Pretty much have to buy new tires with PP2 unless your only tracking it. These are 305/30 Bridgestone pole position tires.

What's your camber? Maybe adding a little more camber will help.

It’s not been touched since car was built. Planning to take her in later this month for a fresh 10 quarts of oil. Dealer always does an alignment check so I can see where it is then. Doing first oil change at 1500.

Does it spec blend or full syn?
