20x8.5 up front

[Ralphtovar]

Can I run a 275 with a 20x8.5 in the front without having to use spacers? Base model GT 2016

the bigger issue is, that a 275 is too large a tire for an 8.5" wheel

They don't have a 9 in the rim I want... Do you have any rubbing or steering issues with 275 in the front?

I have 20x9.5 with 275/35 20 with no issues and the front is lowered.

Any reason you did not go with 9.5 fronts?

Dealer sold me the car with 8.5's on the front and also got the wheel and tire warranty thrown in case there are issues.

I can confirm 275 up fronts work well for 20x10 no rubbing issues. So yes, you can fit 275 up front. You should be more concerned with the 8.5 and maybe the offset.

so a 20x10 with 275/35/20 FRONT on a stock height stock everything mustang GT 2016 base model would be okay, no rubbing at all?

My car has 20x8.5 F and 20x10 R and 275/35/20 Conti. DWS 06's on all corners and it is perfect. In fact, just last week, I put my stock Pirelli's back on and I absolutely HATE the way it drives now. Took the car from Reno NV to Fairfield CA and the ride was just shit. Grabbed all the road grooves, noisy as hell. I wanted to save the tread on the Conti's, but am really considering putting them back on cause I hate the Pirelli's so much.

Short answer to your question is you will have no fitment issues. As for the 20x10 up front, on LMR's web-site, they say through extensive testing they don't recommend 20x10 in front. Don't know exactly why, just says it where the wheel specs are. I got my SVE series 3 rims from them.

Why did you go with two different sized wheels? If you had 4 the same, you could rotate them.

I bought the tires to replace the summer only P-Zero's and at the time, 275/35/20 was the closest thing to the factory 265/35/20 that came on the car. I had them mounted to the factory foundry 20" wheels. I got the wheels a couple months later, and like I stated in the earlier thread, LMR stated that the 20x10" wheels should not be mounted in the front. Because of this, I got the staggered wheel set that they sell. I've actually been thinking about trying to mount the 10" wheel in the front to see if it fits, and ordering 2 more 10" wheels so I can go back to a square setup. The 10" wheel is actually a little lighter, but don't know if the ET 42 will allow it to clear the brakes.
