Will this offset/tire setup fit in the fenders?

[Redemptory]

I'm buying Niche Vice wheels and the specs are: 20x9 +35 / 20x10.5 +40

I was thinking about running Firestone Indy 500's on the car. Would a 275/35 front and 305/35 rear fit under the stock fenders without too much poke? Does anyone run anything similar? I've lurked a lot on the aggressive fitment thread but didn't find anyone that had those exact specs. I'm at stock height/camber, I could possibly put a bit more camber in the rear but I don't want to have to run 3.5degs lol.

The rear tire is a bit tall but it should fit

Yeah, I figured it might be a bit on the tall side, 30 profile is a no-no in Quebec though. Roads are way too bad for that. Guess I'll find out when the wheels arrive in early March.

That's one of the many reasons why you don't get 20s...

Thing is, I really wanted to have these wheels but they don't come in 19''. Only in 20'' with the two specs I stated in first post. Plus, I'm not a fan of concave wheels, so choices were very limited.

I'm going to assume the lack of concavity is still going to clear the caliper faces.

It does, no clue what tire sizes are on the picture though. I have the 4 pistons up front.

I would be a little worried with a tall 305 in the rear and only +40 offset. A little tire poke + a tall tire can equal fender crunch. Maybe a size smaller to be safe at first, then use those tires to judge if you have enough room to go bigger the next time.

These are 30 series in the pic you provided. I checked the Niche website and there is a close up shot of this car.

FYI...You are looking at 28.4" tire according to the Firestone site for the 305/35 20

I would try messaging someone on here that works with wheel fitment to be certain.

These are the same exact wheels I'm going with this summer with a 275/35/20 on the front and 305/35/20 on the back with M&H Racemasters or Nitto 555r's. Please take some pics and post em up after you get the wheels installed. I'm on Steeda Progressive springs as well. If you look at the front wheels, it looks like they pretty much have the same offset as the factory wheels as they sit pretty far into the wheel wells. If that's what they look like in person, I'll end up using my 20mm
wheels spacers I aready have in use with my stock Foundry wheels.

Those rear tires are a full 1.1" larger diameter than the OEM 18", and 1.4" larger than the OEM non-pp 19". With that offset and tire size it's going to poke a good bit and will rub on the fender with bumps, and will probably rub static if you have lowering springs. 305/30R20 are needed. I don't understand why places like AM and others are so ignorant to tire sizing. 30 isn't the sidewall height, it's the aspect ratio.

With the 305 rear tire and a +40mm offset they will stick out a bit. +45mm offset is the standard for a 10.5" wheel. Vossen, Velgen, Rohana, (just to name a few) all spec a +45mm offset on their 20x10.5" wide wheels for 05+ Mustangs. To minimize "Joe Dirt" effect you may be able to run a 285 series on the rear. The front offset is fine. Look to a 10" if +40mm offset is the only option. Or if you like the "pooch" run the 10.5 with the +40mm offset.

Running a 20x10.5 (+45mm) wheel in the back (had Vossen and now KMC) with the 305-35-20 the outside edge of the tire just does break the plane of the fender on the rear.

I have been down this road. I hate "Joe Dirt" or "pooch". Best of luck. They are nice looking wheels.

Gravedigging my old thread but wanted to update y'all. They do fit with no rubbing whatsoever, looks killer IMO. Glad I went with the 35s

manque juste une drop

Looks great, have you experimented with lowering it just a little bit more?
