Yea that helps a lot... this looks pretty good. Those tires would be cheaper for sure. Thanks again!

285/35/19 isn't bad, there's a few options out there, I was talking about the suggestion of 285/40/19. This is kind of what I'm looking at too, the LMR PP2 wheels, 10" all around running 285/35/19 Continental Extremecontact Sport or Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s.
I worded that poorly. I was agreeing with you. The 285/40/19 tire options are limited. I went with 285/35/19 myself because I found my tires for half the price as the cheapest 285/40/19 tire.

I got a response from Ford Performance. Here are the Ford Performance wheel specs:

Looks like the 10" wheel will sit more inside and have no poke compared to the SVE SP2 10" wheels. By about .69".
The 9.5" wheel should be more inside as well compared to the SVE SP2 10" wheels. By about .45".
I like this very much

For reference, here is mine 19x10 squared setup offset +35 running Goodyear Exhilarate A/S 285/35/19. I'm lowered 1" on FP Track springs

My previous setup was OEM PP wheels with 25 and 20 mm spacers. (last 2 pics)

There's more wheel gap with the new setup but it's worth the trade off. There are lot of options in 285/35 size. And I could really feel the difference reducing around 35 lbs of unsprung weight with these lighter wheels. With the squared setup, car feels more nimble and improved steering response

Thanks to everyone who replied and sent pics, I appreciate the help. I have also been checking pics and videos online to see what works for me. It really seems like everyone who goes with a square setup ends up lowering the car, I think the wheel gap is gonna be too big if I don't lower the car. I might even be better off sticking with close to stock size tires and just getting a stickier tire.

I think I am going to stick with a staggered setup and try to choose the tire size that closely matches sidewall height to what I have with the OEM tires. I never realized going to wider tires would be so difficult!

I'm running these Ford Performance wheels in the PP2 sizes. 10.5 and 11 wide with 305/30 sport cup 2's.

Nice. Do you have a front/rear pic to show off the poke? It looks more flush than the 18+ pp2.

As many of you, I have 2 setups
1. Daily OEM Premium chrome like, fat 5 spokes 8.5" wide wheels 255/40/19 square setup with Pireli Nero Weight per rim = 13 kgs (28.6 lbs)
2. Track (which kind of regret) PP1 OEM 9" 265/35/19 front / 9.5" 285/35/19 Pireli Trofeo R Semislicks

Now I was thinking in buying PP2 wheels, but I got disappointed that weight is high with these wheels. Ford Performance should have done these with rotary forged process to gain strenght and keep weight low, at the end of the day they are selling them as Aftermarket price and not so much performance, in my opinion.

For those who say that weight is not important, I have to say, until you have to deal with changing setups and to package everything in the trunk

Here some of the options am looking at next wheels which are in the neighborhood of 11 kgs each (24 lbs)

Sttagered HRE FF04 Front 20x10 35 with 285/30/20 Rear 20x11 50 with 305/30/20 but cost is a big concern
Sttagered Konig Ampliform 20x9.5 35 285/30, 20x11 50 305/30 medium cost
Squared Konig Ultraform 19x10.5 40 with 285 up to 305/30 low cost

If I decide to buy one of the mentioned setups...
I will mount on PP1 my Michelin PS4S again as a daily F255 R275/40/R19
And will sell the OEM wheels which suck

Quick question for those in the know. I have a 2020 GT PP2 and can’t seem to find any all season tires in the 305/30-19 size. Any suggestions?

Get winter wheels. That's probably what 90% do.
