Pic of my base order form as well so agree 305/315 I have handing package not sure that makes a difference most are saying that is only 3 plastic pieces

 

[Surfergeek]

Mine looks exactly like Dunk812's, but I also have handling package, but in the order guide the handling package makes no mention of changing tire size. I expect same tire size as CFTP is the norm.

Here is mine, only option is CF instrument panel.

Just messing with you brother. But I can meet your October deadline no problem. As well as get you anti slip bead knurling on the wheel so the tire doesn’t slip when you launch the old girl.

The just released e-source book states the that GT500 has (" 20" x 11" front wheels and 20" x 11.5" rear wheels in the Carbon Fiber Track Pack") Direct Quote Thank you for posting "likeaBoss" ..much appreciated.
Additionally, but without back up documentation The GT500 Base model black aluminum wheels have two separate part numbers. It seems likely that the Base model rim sizes will be the same sizes (20"x11" front and 20"x11.5" rear) as the CFTP . Since we have documented that the tire sizes for base and track pack are the same, it appears rims and tire sizes match but with different materials. I.E.: Sport cup 2 vs 4, Carbon fiber vs Aluminum. We are just shy of having all the information needed to order wheels. Of interesting note: the interior of the Carbon Fiber wheels have a coating to protect them from the intense heat given off by brake/rotors. I have been trying to purchase an extra set of the Base Wheels to have powder coated silver. OEM supply houses as well as dealers are not able to sell them as of yet. I would like to save the originals and use the replacement set for road rash. I have been following several of the wheel manufacturing folks and while several of them will utilize existing designs to new fitment specs, I am holding off to make a decision.

George

CONFLICT:
further reading the E-source finds that the tire size for the Base configuration and our factory order confirmations DO NOT MATCH
E-source Base tires 295FR and 305RR 30R20......If you read all of our details above, our order summaries show 305 FR and 315RR 30R20.

 

[obspsd]

Anyone notice the Base model tires are now listed as 295 front and 305 rear? (Page 32)

 

[geoking]

for what it's worth ,you can clearly read the 305 on the base wheels' mounted tire
