Hello all. My first post so forgive me if this has been discussed before.

2016 PPGT

20x10.5 +30 front 285/3520
20x12 +53 Rear 315/3520

Car is lowered on Bmr Springs

Has anyone run this set up without any rubbing?
Wanted to not go below a 35 series tire to keep a somewhat decent ride.
Rears I feel pretty confident about, its the fronts that worry me.

I've looked through some of the previous discussions on here
but could not find anyone with this exact setup and if it works fine or not.

Pictures would much appreciated as well if you have any. Thank you in advance. Have a great day Everyone!

I have a 2016 Ecoboost Premium non-perf pack. I have read issues of rubbing with the GT PP rotors on front wheels so I would be wary of that. You may need to run spacers. The back I am not sure of. Hopefully one of the knowledgeable guys will chime in. I believe discount tire told me when I called them that 275 was the biggest tire they officially supported up front. I think a 295 or 305 was the biggest they "officially" supported in the back but they also had clearance measurements and the rep told me on the phone that a 315/35/20 would fit in the back according to the direct measurements.

This is all with factory springs though.

I am about to have 20x9, and 20x10.5 wheels with a 275/35 and 315/35 tires put on my factory ride height car at lunch today. I can try to respond with a picture and stuff afterwards if I am not too busy.

I am guessing one of the more knowledgeable guys will responds soon enough. [MENTION=27078]Paul@PKAUTODESIGN[/MENTION] has helped out countless people on here and seems to really know his stuff. I haven't heard anything bad about him yet, only the utmost praise.

Mustang.... Duhhhh
Your front wheels will be super flush with those specs. Tire size you'll be good to go, but wheels will be pretty tight. I'm running a 285/35R19 on my front 10" et35 wheels for reference.

I am running very close to what you are asking. I'm 20x10 on the fronts with 285/35/20 tires and my rears are 20x11 with 315/35/20 tires. I'm lowered on an Eibach pro-kit and I don't rub anywhere. My rear offset is 50, and I think my fronts are 35. They're MRR M600's. The inside of my rears are just under a half an inch away from the rear shocks. The fronts are extremely close to the plastic piece of the front fender well when I turn.

So checking out the specs its pretty hefty.

The front works but a 275/35/20 is a better tire combo since it is aggressive. ( also front grease cap must be hammered in a bit).

The rear is aggressive its the same as a 11 ET 40 offset which pokes out about 8 mm past the panel. SO camber is needed and I would recommend a smaller tire as well to be safe.

Is the front grease cap an issue because of that tire size or his wheel dimensions+springs? I just had that tire size installed and am worried I am interfering with something now? I checked best I could with the car on the ground for any rubbing and haven't seen any but this gives me new concern.
