Rear Tire Width

[Dave2013M3]

You bet!

I am going with 19x10 and 19x11 running 275/35/19 and 305/35/19 Nitto NT05's.

Have you thought about running a bit wider tire up front? those 2 tire sizes are about 1" different in diameter.

Awesome, someone who knows how to size their wheels and tires properly.

Todd, have you run Invo's before?

They are an OK street tire, not the best though. I had them on my 2011 E92 M3 and the sidewall is really soft and you will go through rear tires every 8-10k miles. Ask me how I know? I would consider a 275/295 setup with Mich PSS.

Awesome thanks Brian! 20x10 in front and 20x10.5 in rear sound good with a 275/35/20 Front and 295/35/20 Rear?

Not Brian, but thats fine what you are going to run. The sidewall will be supported properly.

Awesome! Thanks, Dave. I'm actually planning on going with a 20"x9 and 20"x10.5 with the same tire staggered tire setup I listed above.

Thanks again, man!

Devin a 275 tire fits fine on a 9" rim but its not optimal. I would try to get at least a 9.5" width rim for a 275 tire. Especially important as you will lose steering feel as well as turn in with a pinched sidewall. Not so important necessarily with the rears but the fronts you want that sidewall well supported, especially if you go with the Nitto Invos which have a soft sidewall as well.

If you just plan on using a 255 tire than the 9" width rim is perfect.

I got the same wheels with M/T street comp 305/35/20 in the rear. the offset with meaty tirees make it a close call if your going to lower the rear. i might just be keeping the PP rear springs and lowering the front 1" with a pro kit.

Here is my setup in the rear i used to have. 315/35/20 Toyo Proxes 4 plus. Toyo's run a little bit more narrow

How do you like those Toyos? I went from Nitto 555 to Toyo Proxes on my '05 GT and have regretted it ever since. I had a loss in steering response and the whole car just felt sloppy. I will be back to Nitto 555s within a week thank goodness

If I went with a 255, how much of a handling/traction difference will their be vs a 275/35? And if I bumped it up to a 20x10 (there is no 20x9.5 option for the Stance SC-6ix wheels) I assume that would suffice?

Thanks for the info btw.

I would definitely move up to the 20x10 and go with the 275/35 setup.

The Mustang is a front heavy car, even though the front/rear balance has improved with the S550 it still has a front end bias.

Well the Proxes 4 is a all season tire vs. a summer tire for the Nitto 555s. I have had the Toyo T1Sport, they are a really good tire with a nice stiff sidewall. Unfortunately not a lot of sizes for the Mustang.
