Rear Tire Width

[deven2015GT]

I obviously have a '15 GT w/PP. You all know the stock PP tire size.

I am going to purchase the Niche GT5 wheels along with Nitto INVO tires when the time draws near for a new set of tires. I want to put 255/35/20 on the front and 295/35/20 on the rear. My question is would the 295s be a problem with rubbing against the fender well? Also would new springs to lower it 1" and improve handling affect it in the same way? The springs would be added later if I choose so.

Anyone with 295/35/20s on their '15 already?

Thanks in advance.

A ton of folks are running 295/305/315 on 10-11" wide rear wheels with no issues of rubbing.

No issues with the springs being added either as long as the offsets are correct. Even with a 1" drop, you should have zero clearance issues.

Fantastic! Thanks, my friend!

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.

You should be fine with a 295/35. I ran a 315/35 with the 1" drop and it cleared barely but cleared so you shouldn't have any issues whatsoever .

I'm thinking of possible going to a 275/35/20 and a 295/35/20 but I'm still weighing my options... I want those INVOS and on the AM site they don't have INVOS in 275/35/20, only the NT555. Great reviews for the INVOS and NT555 but I love the look of the tread on the INVOS... so badass.

PM Alex from AM on here. Nitto makes a 275/35/20 in the INVOS so he can get those as well. Those 2 tires are only .1 or so difference in size.

Man that looks very very clean...
What aftermarket exhaust did you go with? My Ford Racing Borla Catback Touring Exhaust Black Tipped should be coming in Saturday so I'll have it installed Monday...

PERFECT!! That would be great. Little wider of a tire should make it look mean and aggressive along with those Niche GT5 wheels. I'll definitely do that!
Thanks again!

I went with INVOS. 315/35/20 on the rear and the 275/35/20 on the front. They should be here sometime around the end of May when the Vossen VFS-1's are back in stock.

Nice good looking wheels for sure. That'll be a nice fat rear tire. How much comfort do you sacrifice with a wider rear tire? I assume you just feel more of the road because of a wider contact area.

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

Thanks. I went with Stainless Works exhaust. If the car doesn't get noticed they definitely hear the exhaust lol

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