Will a 305/35 Nitto NT555r fit the rear? I know they run a little smaller when compared to the Mickey Thompsons. I'm lowered on FRPP springs as well.
alcoas look better my opinion
yea, you could even run a 315 Nt05R is you want more hook
The offset is close to the alcoas so I'm sure a 315 would rub, especially since I'm lowered.
Nitto now has the NT05 (not R) in 305 30 20 (200 tread wear) which is 27.3" tall like stock. Also, arriving next month is the NT01 Road Race tire (100 treas wear) in 315 30 20 at 27.5" tall.
These are a couple options for the 20" rim guys who do not want a 35 series tire at around 28.8" tall.

The nitto is .6" shorter than the stock Goodyears unless they are not advertised at the correct height. I don't want to have more tire gap which is why I was considering the NT555r's in a 305.
Are the stock Goodyears actually 27.9 in height?
Yes but the new 305/30 will help cars with stock gears and lowering springs.
The 305/35 is a great DD DR, especially if you have 3.73s and any power mods.

I have an 08 Shelby and the stock height was 27.1" with the factory Goodyears. It is just a personal preference but I never wanted a tire than was more than 27.7 in height for the rear since my fronts are 27" tall.
Today I run a 255 35 20 front at 27.1 and a 325 30 20 rear at 27.7. You can't tell the difference in height when looking at the car.
I twice saw a 27" front tire Shelby with a 315 35 20 rear at 28.8" and it did not look right to me.

My car isn't a daily driver and never sees the rain. I want the best traction in dry conditions and want to make sure I'm not rubbing with these wheels. I actually prefer the slightly taller tire out back versus increased tire gap.
You run those on the alcoas? How do you not rub without widening them?
20x11 and currently stock springs but don't see a problem even after lowering 1" planned. I do run a adj pan hard rod to center rear.

You had your wheels widened? I am looking to see if the 305s will fit on the unwidened wheel. I'm not interested in having them widened.
Yes, bought them widened by Eric Vaughn.
100% a 305 fits on the 10", I would personally run the 315 Nitto on the 10" also, they tend to run wider.

Can't wait to see them on the car!
Here are a couple of pictures of the tires mounted on the wheels with the Billet Pro Shop center caps.
The wheels balanced out with a road force of (11) worst and (4) as the best.
I have to get my adjustable panhard bar installed before I can get pictures of them on the Shelby.:beer:
