It has been far too long. Things are picking up and we are thankful for all the enthusists we have had the chance to work with. Not only on the Ford side, but across all platforms. I know what you came here for, so lets not wait any longer….

Byron J (@So_Cal_Byro) Track Series SV501 – 19” Shelby GT350R Spec – Matte Bronze
A few shots of Byron’s GT350 taken at our most recent track day at Willow Springs. I can tell you that the car looks just as good as it performs. Track photography courtesy of the talented Robert Gluckman.

Jose G ( @Svtgonzo) Flagship Series ONE – 20” GT350R Spec – Brushed Triple Black Tinted Barrel / Brushed Bronze Tinted Face
This is the first set of Flagship Series ONE ever built for a GT350. Jose has one of those amazing twin turbo GT350’s that we all dream of. The car will be used on kill mode with the Signature Wheel, and the appropriate sticky rear tire was chosen. Unfortunately Jose cracked his block at TX2K, so it is off for a fully built engine. More of this beauty soon.

Adam Carter (@Carterscustoms04) Flagship Series FOUR – 18x11.5 Square – Crystal Burgundy Barrel / Brushed Triple Black Tinted Face
Adam Carter has one of those special New Edge cars. He produces custom aero components, loves to track his car, and is an engineer by trade. Custom fender flares left room for a lot of wheel, and here are some of the results.

Chris G (@Chrisrgonzales) Monoblock SV104 – 19” Custom – Gloss Bronze
Chris’ car is well known and respected as a track performer. Here are some pics of his car on the street setup.

PERFECT fit!
What's the specs of wheels, tires and springs and camber?

Thanks I have Steeda Progressive springs with their shocks and struts. Wheels are Variant Argon brushes titanium 20x10 et35 275/35/20 and 20x11 et50 305/35/20. As for camber when we put it on the alignment rack it was just within specs. I want to say it was around -1.6 or 1.8

Ok, thats it - 35 profile it is for me too!

Will have to go for Pirelli PZero again though due to that Continental or Michelin haven't released 305/35 here in Europe. Can't have everything...
Thanks!

You can get 305/35 in a 20" in Europe? Wonder why that is. I know Michelin doesn't offer 305/35 in a 19".

Yes - the reply from Michelin was that 275/35R20 is available until 04/07 and that 305/35R20 will be launched in Europe in July but it's unclear how quickly it will be available in Sweden - might not be until August.

Continentals webpage does not list 305/35R20 either.

Actually, I know that BMW run Michelins stock while Ferrari, Porsche and Mercedes come with Pirellis.
I think Volvo run Continental. I assume Audi have Pirelli but not sure.
Pirelli also have models for Bentley and other premium/performance brands so that might be the reason why Michelin aren't available - people tend to stick to the brand specific models I assume.

And 305/35 is also a quite big sized tire - might need a yankee car to fit them to start with
Might have been better to go for 30 profile for a more slim euro but it's hard to tell until it's on the car. From what i've seen here, the 305/35 fits really good and should also give a slightly more comfy ride...

I will be running the same setup as these two gentleman when my 20's arrive. 305/30 rear 285/30 front in the 4s. The 305/30 is actually .1" shorter in diameter then optional 20" package offered on the premium. Which uses a 265/35 squared. The 305/35 in my opinion is to tall at 28.4". Thats alot of side wall. Comfy most likely but to much rubber for my taste. It is over a 1/2" taller then the already meaty 275/40r19 offered on the performance pack.

Is that the R888R on the rear? If so what size and and what wheel width? Those are on my short list if I ever get to go FI...

Thanks! (Looks good by the way!)

Yes, you might be right but it's a tough choice!

My original thought was to go 285/35R20 square as some have done but ended up on the 11" rear because.. well.... 11"
Profile is a hard choice as bigger rims can give the illusion of bigger wheels even with smaller or same sized diameter. In addition it'll probably provide better control as you can get 285 wide and less flex in tire walls but it's impossible to tell how it looks without being certain about the car's ride height.

Your two examples look great but also quite low.
With my Eibach Pro-Kit, there are still space around the wheels and especially in the horizontal plane when looking at the car in profile. With a 1,5" drop 30 might be perfect, even though they are smaller than stock as the car will "hug" the wheels more, but on 1" drop fwd and .8" in the rear from the PP springs, I think that it needs some more rubber on those things to fill out the wheel wells, otherwise the look will get closer to stock again with the way too tall suspension.

A 305/32-33 profile would be perfect....

Keep in mind that the 1/2" taller wheel is with a 1" taller rim. The meaty look will be scaled down in relation to total diameter.

Morning gent's, or afternoon as it may be across the pond. In coastal bend Texas I found a sale at LMR for 19x10 SVE GT7 wheels and had to make a move, delayed an aluminum driveshaft, and Bam! 285/35/19 sq. Charlie approves. Fronts just arrived but, I'll need a "Go fund me "page for the other two tires, Firestone Firehawk Indy 500, Lol.

Looks so much better than the stock wheels, nice.
