Yep, Conti Extreme Contact Sport 02 (summer tire) is a good one. You could do 285/35 with a 305/35 rear or the 325/30 is only 0.2 diameter shorter than the front which is effectively same so could run that on the rear.

I'll vouch for the ECS02's as well - quiet, tons of grip, does fine in the wet, decent wear...

If you already bought the wheels its kinda late to be second guessing the tire fitment. People need to figure out the tire situation /before/ they commit and buy the wheels.
where were you when I bought rims/tires on my 370z a few years ago :)
took the advice of a tire guy and although they worked, I ended up needing spacers/studs to make them look right. the shop that did the exhaust work said I should have bought "x" size and they were right.....
fast forward to the mustang and I think I spent a month of research before buying current setup and some of your advice in different threads paid off......

Here's what I don't get. We have all these sponsors on the board:

https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/sponsors/

Hit them up for a wheel+tire package

Not sure why people try to find some goofy wheel setup with weird offsets, funky tire sizes...

Support the board, buy from a vendor who's already done the work of figuring out what fits, and buy from them

Or at the very least copy their wheel specs and tire sizes.

These wheels were a limited run from a forum vendor. They are no longer produced. I found a set for a good price and bought them. Not sure why that upsets anyone, it's my money. These were made specifically for the S550 Mustangs so I'm not sure where you're coming from with "goofy specs".

Also, I'm not sure where the hostility is all about? What is a forum for if not to ask questions and gather information?

Just speaking in general, people are always asking about non-standard wheel/tire setup.

Not sure where you think there's hostility.
