295/35/19 Upfront on PP2 rims

[MLO 351]

I see 285/35/19 upfront on a lot of S550's, anyone running 295/35/19 upfront?

Searching through older threads, it looks like its possible, Im looking to run 295/35/19's on PP2 rims all round.
The rear is no issue, just not 100% sure the front will fit without rubbing?

They fit fine as long as you're not lowered. Ran 295/35 front and 305/35 rear (stock GT350 sizes) on PP2 rims on my PP1 with no rubbing issues. When the fronts wore out, switched to 285/35's to try to reduce tramlining a little.

The fronts wore down to the cords on the inside edge with the 295's, and I even had the car aligned to PP2 specs. I've seen some GT350 owners making the same comment.

I have a 2020 GT PP2 car, and I installed the Ford Performance PP2 wheels with 295/35/19 tires all around. Suspension has not been touched and haven't rubbed at all, but the PP2 cars have a different inner fender liner. I do remember I researched this quite a bit when I had a 2017 GT, and pretty much if you are at stock height, you should be good.

Tire selection sucks in 295/35R19, which drives most people to 285/35 or 305/30 (305/35 selection sucks too).

any performance loss with the 295/35/19 and the 305/35/19 on the GT performance pack

exactly what metric are you trying to identify?
furthermore, are you trying to fit those wide tires on the narrow-ass PP1 rims?

I just put gt350 rims & cup 2 tires on my base gt, 255's came stock. Feels like a go cart now. There is more under steer, but i think i can fix that with neg camber, stock alignment right now.

No have PP2 wheels. And a set of GT350 OEM wheels

It's very possible, I have a buddy running that setup, and he has no issues. He tracks the car too. You get a wider footprint of course which enables better wet/snow/ice braking performances. Narrower tires have better noise performance as well.
