Lets talk wheels/tire/brakes

Damn auto correct. Caliper.

They wouldn’t keep it 0.5” smaller for weight.

In the front where change of direction has a lot more meaning than the back, that’s where desperate weight savings are required.

The C8 is using 245 front and 305 rear. Maybe try that so you can try to keep up with them.

I vote to ban this fool.

Anyone know or have a good guess as to what the max tire size you will be able to run in the rear on the gt500?

The rim width hasn’t been released I believe.

Probably a 325 like the the rest of the Mustang chassis.

I wish we could run a bigger tire than 325 Lol

If you go digging in the wheel/tire section, I'm pretty sure somebody has posted up a 345 rear at least once.

I don't remember the specifics, but I want to say it was in an 'aggressive fitment' thread.....

 

[protraxduner]

The S550 chassis in the rear is what it is, whether its a V6, GT, 350,500.....I think we are maxed at 325 and 11.5 wheel. YES you can go 12 wide wheel or 345 tire or whatever but your talking aggressive camber and rubbing issues

 

[Strokerswild]

Correct, not to mention there are more brand/type choices for 325....

All indicators for the GT500 Track Package point toward the same wheel width, just in a 20” setup. I will try to confirm this weekend.

20x11
20x11.5
