Will I rub on 325s?

[Bluemustang]

Never too much unless they rub.

But it doesn't look good.

If there's a performance reason I totally get that. But the poke, it isn't a good look. I have 305s and they do poke especially up front, but I didn't do it because it looks good. Jmo of course, but a 255-285 is more befitting of the car. If you have big power and/or you hit the track or the strip and run a sticky tire, then I'm all for it!

My 325's poked less than 1/4". My 315 Drag radials are about the same. In the 70's it was not uncommon for rear tires to poke 3-6"!

A tiny bit looks great. But not much.

To each his own. Personally, I don't mind the look of a bit more poke.

I’m running the same. No issues at all. I’m on BMR drag springs

I love this car! Do you deliver pizzas? I'ma steal it!!!!

Nawwww, if I ever had to go away from Carbonized Grey I'd be hitting this white!

I have 295 in back but want to step up to 315 or 325. I can spin those 295's to easy. But my 275's up front rub.... do mag ride cars have less clearance on the inside of the wheel wells?

19X11 +50

R2's are not good over 700RW.

Define not good......

I have 275/40/19 555Rll's on my 8.5" OEM wheels. I've cracked off a 3.17 0-60' on dragy, and get full throttle hook by 30mph on warm asphalt.

I have the exact same setup, only steeda progressives, so the car is 1" lower. The only reason why I may have to rethink it is due to the big brake upgrade I'm about to start. Works fine if you're still running stock GT brakes, or the performance pack or bullitt setup.

285/35-R19 (35mm offset) in front; 325/30-R19 (50mm offset) in rear:

Exactly what I hope my convertible will look like when I get my 285-325 wheel and tyre setup installed this week

How much lowered is the car? And what’s the camber on wheels? your setup looks great.

Steeda progression rate springs, 10 mm rear ride height spacer.
No rubbing.
Grip balance of the car is very even and very predictable.
