Need honest opinions!

[njudd921]

I just put continental extreme contact sports on the 2017 gt performance pack. I went with 295/35/19 rears and 275/40/19 fronts in hopes to keep the wheel gaps as even as possible. Car is sitting on a 1” drop all the way around. I cannot decide if I should keep this setup or put a 275/35 in the front. I’m a little OCD and not sure if I’m crazy or if it visually looks like the fronts are bigger (they are .6” taller overall than the rears).

would you notice if i didn’t say something? Do they need to be shorter in the front?

You won’t hurt my feelings, I want honest opinions. Thanks!

I wouldn't have noticed....but now that you pointed it out.....

I am a little OCD myself and it would probably bother me even if no one else noticed. Having said that, it is not horrible. You do have a beautiful car.

I just put on the same tires.Lowered on Steeda drag springs and pro-active shocks/struts.. 275/35/19 up front and 295/35/19 out back if you want to see the difference

yeah i dont think i would have noticed if you wouldnt have pointed it out, however looking at the pictures closely, after you pointed it out, now i can see that the space between the rim and the bottom of "continental" is a bit more on the fronts than the rears.

I pretty much had myself convinced to go get the 35s and you all just helped. Good thing I had them order both sizes! Thanks everybody. Except for @Rock&Roll. Just kidding lol


@Goterr0r that looks awesome, how do you like them so far? Do they hook up ok? I was torn between these and the nitto nt05, but decided I’d rather not replace tires every 4 months.

 

[Goterr0r]

So far so good with them. They were replacing some 255/50/18 Nitto G2's on the stock rims. So its really been night and day difference with them on the new rims.

What are the wheel specs?

 

[Goterr0r]

Shelby style 201. 19/9.5 in the front and 19/10.5 rear

Swapped them out today and very happy with the new look. This is 295/35/19 rear 275/35/19 front on a 1” drop all around in case anybody else is looking at doing something similar.

 

[brucelinc]

You did the right thing.

 

[wade001]

yeah, that looks better!

 

[samd1351]

Honestly, i can't tell the difference. Either way looks great.

Well after the damage has been done, I think you did the right thing.
Before you made the swap, the 275/40/19 was only noticed in the second picture, but these things are hard to tell in pictures.
After the swap, it actually looks more balanced.
I'm a little OCD too, so it would have bothered me too.
Good looking Mustang.

Isn't 295/35 to big for the stock PP wheels in the back your tires must be bulging. As I understand it from performance perspective with stock PP wheels 275/35Front with 285/35 Rears is the best possible option without to much tire bulge
