LMR SVE GT350R replica wheels fitment on GT350R

[GB17shelbyGT350R]

I have a 2017 GT350R, I just purchased a set of LMR SVE GT350/GT350R specific replica wheels.
I have noticed most people are running a 295/35/19 front tire and 305/35/19 rear?

Has anyone tried fitting a 305/30/19 tire on the front 19x10 wheels?

I'd like to get closer to tire fitment as possible without excessive bulge. I have see a few guys running spacers to help with "poke" to closer display a stock R look.

If anyone has pictures of their SVE replica GT350R wheel and tire setups, could you please share?

I'll be purchasing tires in the next month or so and I'd like to get the best looking setup.

Thanks for any information you guys can provide

What size tire are you running there? Looks good!

Thank you.
305/30/19 front
325/30/19 rear

These tires wouldn't fit the 19x10 front and 19x11 rear SVE wheels without excessive bulge I'm sure.

ok thats what i ran on my previous R and I think you are correct. The PS4S run a little wider already. It has been suggested to run 295 and 305 PS4S to more closely match the size of the Cup 2 305/315 combo and if you look at Tire Rack, that seems to be accurate based on their measurements of the 2 tires. SO the 295 305 combo might give you a similar look to what you have now but on a .5 smaller wheel. Just bench racing here, I haven't tried it...but that's what I would order if I was installing slightly smaller wheels.

A 305 should/would fit just fine on a 10” wheel. Not the wheel in question, but the sizes are good for comparison. Here’s a 295 on a 10” front (305 on 11” rear), and it’s fairly stretched. A 305 on a 10” wouldn’t have that much stretch obviously, but it should still be a good looking fit with not a lot of bulge. Of course every tired brand will vary slightly, so...grain of salt and all....

I didn't end up waiting..... I went ahead and purchased tires from Tire Rack with free shipping ;
Michelin PS4s
295/30/19 fronts for 19x10 SVE R replicas
305/30/19 rears for 19x11 SVE R replicas

I am contemplating spacers for a more aggressive stance (poke), I will mount the wheels and tires first to see. I plan on following a similar setup as a guy on YouTube, The GT350R. The GT350R ended up going with custom 8mm spacers for a better stance. I will try and update this post in the upcoming months for anyone that searches this post in the future.

Here is the stock CF wheel setup

good tires. they'll work great. and i know that GT350R guy...

I’ve run 305/35/19’s on a 10” wheel no issues but 11’s would be a better footprint.

I see what you did there.

You must be " him" haha. Thanks for the videos, spacers and lug nut options. I'm definitely taking your advice on those.

Here is my car with the carbon fiber wheels... Which I'll be removing and storing them for track only days.
Current setup:
Carbon Revolution GT350R
19x11 front. Michelin PS4 305/30/19
19x11.5 rear. Michelin PS4 325/30/19

Newly purchased:
Michelin PS4 tires from Tire Rack.
295/30/19 fronts
305/30/19 rears

Purchased a set of SVE GT350R specific replicas from LMR.
19x10 fronts. 25lbs each
19x11. Rears. 24lbs each

Fort Wayne Wheel Repair was able to custom paint the 2 front wheels with the white stripe to imitate the OE Carbon Revolution heat coating.
I wanted as close as I could get to the OEM look.

A local wheel repair shop here in Fort Wayne, IN painted in a flat white stripe on the inner barrels to imitate OE Carbon Revolution white heat coating.

SVE 19x10 Front wheels
(Flat white painted stripe in barrel to imitate OE carbon fiber coating)

19x11 SVE rear
Michelin PS4. 305/30/19

Finally, I was able to apply a few coats of AvalonKing Amour Shield XL Ceramic coating for added protection.

I have 2 sets of lug nuts coming.

1 set is black, open ended for the front 2 wheels. I will torque those down to the 150 lbs spec and stack a 2" OEM acorn style on top.
I'll be using the 2" acorn style only for the 2 rears as the offset is different than fronts.
Thanks for TheGT350R on YouTube for the inspiration.

I'll post a few pictures after installation and give my opinions on how the stance is prior to spacers.

nice touch on painting the barrels of the front wheels to look like the OEMs.

love the color on your car !!!

I debated back and forth on actual tire size i wanted for these SVE GT350R replicas from LMR. I have ultimately decided on Michelin Pilot Sport 4s
305/30/19 Fronts ( 19x10 Fronts)
325/30/19 Rears (19x11 Rears)

Here is some views of the stock Carbon Revolution wheels and Michelin PS 4s on the driver side for comparison.

Here is a rear view from both, to see how they sit (poke) on both the SVE and Stock set ups.

Drivers side Stock setup.

Passenger side SVE GT350R replicas

Here is the clearance on the front rock guards with the SVE GT350R replica setup. It is very similar with the stock Carbon Fiber wheels w/ 305/30 Michelin PS4s.

All in all i am very happy with this SVE GT350R replica setup. I, like many others want to try and preserve the carbon fiber wheels since they are so costly. Our Indiana roads are usually filled with numerous potholes throughout the spring time in the winter aftermath of highway plows. (disadvantage of living in multi season state).

I hope this helps anyone that might also be looking for an alternative with wheel options. I have yet to see anyone else try installing the 305 fronts and 325 rears on a SVE (19x10 and 19x11) setup. There is some bulging, however i dont think its excessive and i will NOT be tracking this car on these SVE wheels.

**I used Ford Performance centercaps for the SVE GT350R replica wheels. They do fit, however they were loose so i did 1 wrap of blk electrical tape around the tabs and reinstalled for a more tight fit.

**i did follow THEGT350R 's advice from his Youtube video and used a double lugnut setup. 14x1.5 size. I opted for the traditional closed Acorn style and not the open ended Gorilla style he used.
*****I purchased both lugnuts on Ebay, you can get them on Amazon as well. I spent under $60 for both sets.
Fronts:
.8" open end acorn lugnut torqued to 150ftlbs then i used a 2" chrome lugnut over the top snugged up for show.

Rears:
I was able to use just the 2" chrome lugnuts since the wheel studs arent as long in the rear.

@GB17shelbyGT350R , yeah I've not seen anyone go that wide tires on the r350 wheels. glad it worked out for you. how does it drive/ride?
