I’m not seeing specs for those but in 20” if you want to run the same size f/r 11”, 24mm and 62mm will fit problem free

You could run those wheels, would be a combination of standard and R fitment. In that case 30mm for the 10.5’s. What tire size do you plan to use?

I’m not sure, I’m new to owning a performance car. I want to be able to just have more options with regard to my tires, and someone told me that I should move up to 20” wheels. Also, I’d like to be able to run the same size wheels on the front and rear. Is that possible on the GT350? I know the R is 305F/315R…could I just use the same width wheel in the front and rear and run 305s all the way around?

the primary reason to go to 20" is aesthetics. it lessens the gap bw the tire and fender, all things being equal. i think 20's look real good on the gt350...example of mine with the vossen M-X2:

and yes you can run front and rears size same wheels but you'll need spacers on the fronts, something like 20x11 ET52 all around using a 30mm spacer on the fronts (effectively ET22). but you cant just get any wheel in that size bc most wheels wont clear the calipers on the gt350, hence you got to find a wheel that works with our cars. if you want lower cost, check out P51s or the SVE R350 or the SVE SP2 wheels.

basically it can work you just have to figure out what wheels you want and if they'll clear the calipers.

This is right on. 20’s do I think look better on an S550. I made the mistake of going 19” with my first set of wheels and within 6 months had another set in order in 20”. I spec’d specific offset rims for f/r but do get why running the same f/r works out for some people. Do keep in mind that you will very likely need longer studs in front if you choose the spacer route. Good luck, there are many great choices.
