For competitive purposes, absolutely. But if you're just wanting to throw a better looking than OEM wheel on the car for personal taste and a spacer can do the trick then I'd rather do that. Plus you can rotate the wheels without having to have different offsets front/rear.
Just checked his setup and it looks great. Also found this guy running the exact same specs with brembos. The only thing that worries me with running wide tires on the front is tramlining. Handling with 305's on the front should be terrible. I never ran such a wide tire on the front so I am just assuming.
Hey thanks man! I run a 305/30/19 Michelin Sport Cup 2. It rips..That looks fantastic. What size/brand tires are you running? I am going to follow your formula. 19x11 et52 all around, Ford Performance hubs and 25mm spacers up front. I am looking at these.
It does/will tramline, but my car is an aggressive driving experience anyways lol.
Thanks! I ran 305/35/19 all around on my last Mustang. The size I run may come down to availability.
I know a 285/35/20 will fit the front on a pp1 car with no spacer on a +35 10" wheel.Test fitted 10.5 +45 VMB8 wheel on the front today and it clears brembos even without a spacer with about 2 mm clearance. As for the strut clearance it's less than 1 mm so with the tire on it won't fit without a spacer. I think the tire that I was planning to fit (275/35/20) on the front won't fit either as it is too tall and will be hitting the spring support thing that is on the strut. What do you guys think?
The blue is a taped off brembo caliper.
My VMB5's showed up today. Going with 20x10.5 square on a 295/30/20. I for whatever reason my 8mm spacers haven't arrived yet but I plan to test fit tomorrow with the tire mounted. I think you'll clear just fine.Test fitted 10.5 +45 VMB8 wheel on the front today and it clears brembos even without a spacer with about 2 mm clearance.

This is where that tire size might not fit
275/35 is taller than 305/30, let alone 295/30. Could you please measure the clearance to this spring support thing you'll have with your tire size. Then I can easily calculate if a taller tire fits.
Yes, but I don't think you'll have any clearance issues with a 275/35. I have seen several setups running 275/35/20 square on aggressive offsets/fitments.
Theoretically - yes, but it's mm's that matter. I am sure someone's running that tire, but what's the exact offset and width. There's so little room in there when you're running aggressive setups. I guess I'll just have to buy one tire and try it on.
What wing is that?My new set-up. BC Forged RS45 in gloss black 20x10 et30 front with 275/35/20's and 20x11 et50 rear with 315/35/20's on Steeda progressive springs. The concave on these wheels is what I fell in love with.
I love the color of the wheels. Perfect match. What suspension are you on?
Will be on sportlines temporarily until I can find the right coilover
