305/35/20 on 11” rear?

[BigR4444]

I've got my eye on a set of those Shelby CS-3s as well.
Definitely want the 20x11s in the rear, and I was leaning towards 305/35/20... this thread helped me feel confident there...

What are you doing up front though? I'd assume (like me) you were gunna go with the 20x9.5s... I was working out what I was going to do there size wise.

I wanna go with the Pilot Sport all season 4s. Was thinking 275 was my best bet; and the only option available in 275 is 275/40/20.

Whatd you use up front?

Any help and/or telling me if I'm wrong would be appreciated.

I went with 275/35/20 up front with the 9.5's. That seems to be one of the more popular sizes up front. Heres a pic of them on the car. I'm not sure how the 275/40 would look. I'm on stock suspension.

Damn that looks good. I'm still at stock ride height too. Thinking these rims/tires will actually close that gap a bit and I won't even need lowering springs.
Thanks for the input.

Did you need small spacers up front? Read somewhere these wheels didn't fit over the brakes.

Yes, this wheel/tire set up does close the gap up pretty good. I thought about maybe doing a minimum drop spring which only lowers the car 1/2", but Im not in a rush. Right now the pros of stock ride height out weigh the con's for my particular needs. I didn't need any spacers to fit over my calipers. I think these wheels where designed to fit over base and pp1 brakes.

Shelby uses 305/30/20 Pilot Sport 4S tires on their Shelby GT with these rims, FYI. 275/35/20 for the front tires with the 20x9.5 rims. Because of that, I’m assuming those are the recommended tire sizes for the CS3 wheels.
