[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 15538902, member: 7795"] First, are you more interested in traction or the look? (I doubt much will hook in winter temps and cold roads) I run widened factory wheels on my '14, made a few posts about it. I found acceptable street traction with the rears widened to 20x11" by Weldcraft with 315/35/20 Nitto NT05Rs. Like you I loved MT traction but not the other compromises (handling, vibration, etc), and find the Nitto a better street DR. I also run a 5/8" billet hubcentric spacer and ARP studs. I use the spacer for the flush look, it's perfectly at the fender and probably could go to 20x11.5-11.75". Another option if you want both looks and traction is to go factory front 19x9.5" wheels (available by Ford Racing in black only) and go 11.5" with the 345/30/19 Nitto NT05R. The drag radial will obviously give you the best traction, and the factory 19" is better backspacing for widening and I've really been thinking of the 345 option in 19" Last, as guys mentioned, true street non-DRs will vary on actual width (despite number designation). Michelins tend to run wide and the 325 cup 2s might actually work better for you as the right compound is key for your goals. Got any pics? -J [/QUOTE]
