MeanMustangGT -> Rear Tire Fitment (4/7/2008 12:04:04 PM)

Hi every1 im new to the forums here juss picked my 08 gt last week, anyway i ordered a set of bullit rims (20x10'') in the rear from american muscle a couple days ago and on the site it recommended that the tires i get are 285/30-20.So earlier today i ordered tires those dimensions from tire rack and got a call back from them a little while ago about how they would rub and be too big.Juss wondering what u guys think i should do because i really dont know that much about tires. Should i try to put them on or order smaller tires?

Those tires WILL NOT RUB unless you have some extreme off-set. Saleens come with 275/40/20"s and car is 1.5" drop or so. You are looking at a series 30 and is probably 3/4" smaller around. Check the diameter of Saleens and yours and confim.

***HERE*** is a link to an ongoing discussion in Saleen / Roush section of MF's on this very subject. Some have installed 305/35/20"s in rear, so with proper off-set, 285/30/20"s will not be an issue.
