New Tires

what tire sizes / aspect ration can be used without throwing off the odometers?

Just get whatever tires you want and re-calibrate your speedometer.

Correct your speedometer error - no flash or tune required

The stock tires are expensive and aren't great for the street or rain, if I keep stock size, I have literally not many options, what tire sizes / aspect ration can be used without throwing off the odometers? Do they sell rims/tire packages anywhere that will fit, that don't require extra spacers? I think cheapest rim I found was like 600 bucks plus per rim, there has to be more options that that?

Really looking for an all season tire that wont be nearly 2k for a set of 4, and will mess with odometer.... or as minimal as possible.

I couldn't agree more about the stock tires. I hated mine, mostly for the tramlining. Felt downright dangerous to me (on the other hand, I'm old) on anything but a billiard-smooth surface. I went with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 in 255/40ZR19 and 275/40ZR19, and couldn't be happier. Cured the tramlining, and I feel confident about driving in the rain. I don't know whether I'll take the car into the snow, tho' at least that's possible (whereas it most certainly isn't with the stock tires). No impact on the speedometer or odometer. I mounted them on Forgeline GT1-5 painted in a matching (not exact) blue. None of it was cheap, but I really like the setup

Not for this car man, not for this car. You'd regret it anyways. Any cheap wheel is gonna look just as cheap. Anyone that makes cheap wheels typically aren't making anything in these sizes, which rules out this market. Most cars/communities with this size wheel and tire also aren't shopping for cheap wheels. As far as I know, about the cheapest option you may have would be Project 6GR, and I'm unfamiliar with their prices. That's about as cheap of a wheel (and I'm not talking price) I'd be willing to go.

Just making a hopeful assumption here, but are you shopping for cheap a** wheels just to have a dedicated winter set? If not, based on your standards for wheels and tires, I have a feeling you may just be in the wrong car.

find someone willing to sell a set of OEM Wheels/Rims and then buy tires for that set...

Is that Carroll Shelby signature a decal? And where did you get it?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and hazard a guess that it is a decal...

Q: What makes you so sure it's a decal smart-ass?
A: Uhhhh..... Mr. Shelby died 6 years before that car was produced.

My buddy has the bronze sve ones on his for winter tires haha they look fine IMO. i think he runs 285/40/19 on them but not certain

I LOVE the encouragement to drive mine in the winter (on the right tires, of course)! Just be sure--any of you who are looking at winter wheels--to stay away from 3-piece. It didn't occur to me, until I had chronic problems with air loss, that 3-piece wheels are likely to corrode at the junctions. I struggled with the results for several winters, on two difference vehicles, before a local mechanic helped me figure this out.

Your car is not haunted? Like glove box doesn't open and close on its own at weird times. Really? May want to return it.
