RTR Tech 5 10.5 x 20

[Stevdug]

Opinions please I’ve been looking at these wheels for some time and American muscle has them on sale so I picked up one to check out. I mounted it on one of my 275/35 Mickey Thompson’s I am running on my current 20x10 set up I was afraid they would look stretched on the 10.5 but I don’t think it’s that bad. The main issue is the poke on the rear, its there but it’s not crazy bad, on paper 2mm less than the r spec poke I’m still just not sure along with the overall look What do you think

Another pic of the wheel. Poke

Only my opinion but I love the wheels. May get some myself. I'd go with the 9.5" wheel to give a little more rim protection. 9.5 is what the GT PP uses for the 275. Poke ain't too bad.

Looks great! I definitely prefer the Tech 5s to the 7s and they also look a lot like the PP2 wheels. This is my first time seeing them on a GT350 and it is sweet! Do you have any pictures of the front wheels?

The offset on 9.5 wide wheel calculates it to the same poke as the 10.5 but as far as the stretch on the tire I’m using you would get some extra rubber over the rim going with 9.5. I am really surprised however how little difference there is in stretch, or rim exposure between the 10 wide wheel I had been using and this one. I’m also sure brand and sidewall design make a big difference. The MT are pretty flat compared to the Michelin’s that come on the car and have that built in protection

I will get some, I only have the one right now. I did check rim only before I mounted the tire and stuck in the back, with my 1.5 spacers on the front the fit looked great; nice flush fit

is that 1.5 mm spacers or 1.5 inch spacers?

 

[Stevdug]

They are 1.25 inch. Sorry I misfired on 1.5 inch statement

A few more. One thing I learned during the scrutinizing of the fit was that my drivers rear wheel and tire sticks out further than pass rear

Rims look great! Strange about the fitment. Just curious - if you swap the rear rims, does it look the same? If so, it is the car that is asymmetrical!

so you are using a 20" x 10.5 wheel square with what size tire?

Could you take a side of whole car picture?

Thanks

Why are you only using a 275 when the car came with a 295/305 from the factory?

Moved from the 19" to the 20" wheel because i do like the look of the 20s. I kept and run my factory wider and stickier 19" set up when I play at the track but for just in town piddling and for budget reasons I picked up the 275/35 MT tires which were originally for the 10" wide set up. Like I said they work ok on the 10.5 but if I were buying fresh tires I would go with something a little fatter.
