Thanks for posting these photos.

What is best practice for minimum clearance? Wondering whether going with that size tire and no spacer would cause issues?

Without spacer the tires were very close to the strut. The little tire hairs are touching. It's around 3mm of clearance. This is all on a 2016 GT PP with completely stock suspension.

With 5mm spacers. Everything clears just fine.

With the 5mm spacer I couldn't get enough thread engagement on the stock lug nuts (only around 5 turns or so) So I had to go with longer studs too. 3mm was the largest spacer that I could go and still get bout 7.5 turns with the stock lug nuts.

Let me know how the 295s fit.

Just got home from being in the Mojave desert the last couple weeks. I found these waiting for me. I have a set of 315 Hoosier A7's inbound. I'll let everyone know what kind of spacer size is required once I get everything test fitted.

Like the 19x11 square setup. Do you all have the spacers and studs? Seems like the ARP studs are readily available but all the spacers I've been able to find are for the rear.

Appreciate your interest. Many have purchased spacers from [MENTION=22413]Optimum Performance[/MENTION] In fact, the yellow race car posted above went that route.

I also got my spacers from Optimum Performance. Very good quality parts.

Signed up today...though I am torn between squared 19x11 with 305s vs 19x10 with 285s (no spacers) and 19x11 325s.
