20x10 on the front widest tire

It shouldn't be that hard to match Ford's fit and finish, it isn't that great to begin with. :lol:

That made me awkwardly laugh out loud at work...

I am going to discus the possibility of doing a hood and fenders, as I really like the regular Mustang bumper cover, here is one of my favorite GT350 mules.

I would also prefer to run less extreme wheel offset to do 10" wide tires upfront for the sake of the bearings.

I suspect that front wheels with a smaller positive offset make life for the bearings a little easier while you're cornering at least moderately hard (lateral cornering loads work in opposition to the weight effect on the heavily loaded outer tire).

I am going to try to run 20x10 40mm DF5 wheels, with 285/35 MPS3 on a square setup. Problem is I'm installing the airlift kit (tomorrow) and just not sure how much the tire is going to tuck into the fender. I want to be able to lay it all the way down without damaging anything though. I ordered two DF5 wheels and the MPS3 tires, and will be test fitting them on the front of the car once we have installed the bags. The wheels are supposed to go on the rear and if they do have clearance problems I will just have to order the smaller 20x8.5 wheels for the front.

I did test fit the wheels with out the tires the other day. They do appear to be able to work on the front of the car. The brake caliper will need to be smoothed for paint anyway, so I think I can make enough room for It to be a non issue. The calipers didnt hit the wheel, but I would say it was in the .01" or less range at the closest point. The center cap did hit the dust cover a decent amount. I may be able to take some material off the back side of the center cap, as well as beat in the dust cover a little bit if there is some clearance behind it.

I think hypermotive (not 100% sure) is trying to run a 20x10 front wheel on a bagged setup as well. I know a 275/35, or even a 275/30 would help clear the fender better. If anyone has done this or knows someone running a 285/35/20 on a bagged setup, please post any info you can.

My 285's would tuck in if cambered in enough on the drop from bags.

Yeah, I'm hoping they don't require anything to crazy camber wise. This will be my first bag setup, so it's all new to me. But sounds like a PIA to adjust the camber once the strut is mounted. If I read correctly you have to drop it down to be able to get to the adjustment screws on the top. I just don't want to be wearing out the tires prematurely also.
