Friends,

If there is anybody here that help me with selecting the best tire combination for the following wheels I would greatly appreciate it. I have scoured the wheel & tire section over and over but yet to have found and answer that I feel comfortable with. But first let me provide the details I my 2014 Gt/CS suspension modification.

As she sites I am lowered on with:

A. SR Performance Lowering Springs - Coupe (05-14 GT, V6) Estimated Drop: Front - 1.5” Rear - 1.5”

B. Ford Racing Dynamic Shock & Strut Kit (05-14 GT, V6)

c. Steeda Adjustable Panhard Bar

The wheel I'm interested in are:

A. 20x9 Concept One CS-55 Concave Silver Machined/Optimal Tire Size
to avoid excessive wheel gap

20x10 Concept One CS-55 Concave Silver Machined/Optimal Tire Size?
to avoid excessive wheel gap

B. 19x8.5 Stance SC-5 Matte Silver Machined w/ Chrome Stainless Steel
Lip/OPTIMAL TIRE SIZE TO AVOID EXCESSIVE WHEEL GAP?

19x9.5 Stance SC-5 Matte Silver Machined w/ Chrome Stainless Steel
Lip/OPTIMAL TIRE SIZE TO AVOID EXCESSIVE WHEEL GAP?

Is it possible to run this wheel in 19x9.5 x 4? If so what is the OPTIMAL TIRE SIZE for front and back with a 1.5" drop?

Last but not least:

C. 20x9 Rohana RC7 Machined Silver/OPTIMAL TIRE SIZE TO AVOID
EXCESSIVE WHEEL GAP?


20x10 Rohana RC7 Machined Silver//OPTIMAL TIRE SIZE TO AVOID
EXCESSIVE WHEEL GAP?


Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I'm running 18's and lowered just under 1.5 inches, barely any ridiculous wheels gap. It's what I like to call JUST RIGHT lol.

My Boss is dropped on eibach sportlines. I am running 20x9 and 20x10.5 vossen wheels with 255/35 fronts and 305/30 rears... For me the rears fit the rim better than the 285-295 width most guys run. Also the rears are about 1/3 of an inch taller than the fronts. A lot of guys run 255/35 and 295/35... imo that rear is kinda tall. Just for reference a 305/35-20 is one inch taller than a 305/30-20... you just need to decide which side wall you like better. Also the 35 series rears being taller will take away some of your gearing too. If you look at a lot of pics you can decide which side wall you like better. I like the shorter side wall.

Thanks for the input. I went ahead and ordered some Stance SC5-s

20x9 Front /offset 32
20x10 Rear/offset 35

I'm lowered 1.5 with SR springs and Ford Racing Dynamic Shock & Strut Kit so I'm sure I will not be able to run any tire larger than a 275/35/20 on the rears:shrug:. I'm not concerned with he front tire 255/35/20. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

On a 10in width +35 offset I think you can go 285 or even 295 width if you want to. A 255/35 F and 285/35 rear would look good together.
