GT PP Tire sizing

[Rkelly88]

I'm looking to replace the factory Pirelli's with something a little wider on the rear, i'll be keeping the same 245 profile up front. My question is what's the widest tire I can fit on the stock PP wheels that will actually be beneficial? From what I've been reading some guys are running tires so wide that the tread surface isn't making contact with the road. As far as suspension my car is stock but I plan on doing the ford racing lowering kit soon so that needs to be taken into consideration on sizing, but due to my heavy right foot I need tires now. thanks in advance

Front is a 255/40/19 tire

Rear you can run up to a 295/35/19 easily, members have used a 305 it looks nice but does buldge.

Awesome thanks for the info, do you know if lowering the car 1" will cause any issues with a 295 setup?

I run a 305 on members ride lowered with no issues, so you'll be fine.

You wouldn't happen to have any pics of your setup would you?

I dont since the setups I have done are on members rides, im waiting to pickup a 350R

That's cool no worries, I'll prolly go the 295 route first and see what I think... Is the 350R a members ride? Those are pretty sweet, I can't wait to see one in person
