Hoping someone can provide me with some guidance. I got a really awesome deal on a set of GT350 OEM wheels off a 2018. I need to buy tires for a staggered setup. But it occurred to me that GT350's are wide bodies. So my question is what tire sizes can i run on my car without being concern about rubbing.

285/35 and 305/35. Ran them on my 2018 PP1 with no issues other than better handling! Stock lugs worked too.

Do you recall how much clearance you had between the tire and strut in the front? I’m looking to run these wheels with 305/30R19 all seasons all around for the cold months on my mach 1 w/ handling package. Worried the extra 6mm offset could cause clearance issues.

Never measured it but I did run 295/35's up front for a while and never had any rubbing issues.

The offset is to move the wider wheel to the outside. More to the fender inner lip, so you're good.

Your wheels are 10.5, 305/30 tires on that rim is nice and FAT. The 350 with those wheels have 295/30 front and 305/35 rear factory. Want a fuller wheel well 305/35 will fill the bill, and the 305/30 will also great.

My car, 305/30 factory all 4 corners.

Me wanting more tire to fill the rear wheel well moved too 305/35, the rim is 11.0, not important.

Actually have a picture that shows the 305/30 and the 305/35 mounted front and rear

Pointing out the 30 / 35, difference and

the visual impact 5% more sidewall adds to the look of the tire, and yes 19s.

Here’s updated pic with the GT350 wheels installed. I went with 265/35/19 in front and 285/35/19 rear. These are Michelin pilots. I think I could have went 285/35/19 in front and 305/35/19 in rear but I did t want any rubbing since I am gonna be using Steeda lowering springs soon.

Yes that's the ticket, if i would have had 4, 35s, they would be on. Got rear tires as take offs, cup2.
The rear tires seem to wear faster ? :devil: No burn outs a waste of rubber, just hard acceleration.

my front is 19x10.5 et24 so the gt350 front is actually 6mm (0.24”) further inboard both inside and outside. I’m just worried that with the wider front tire than stock gt350’s, they might rub the struts. I have seen threads of gt350 owners running 305 up front. Do the gt350s have the same suspension geometry as all other s550’s?

We have ran these wheels without issue on the stock tire sizes

295/35/19
305/35/19

You can use a 285/35/19 front as well without issue.
