Anyone running 10" 305/35-19? Clearance questions
Hello my mustang friends, I'm upgrading tires for a better fit on my 13 mustang, currently with a 10" rim and 285/35-19 tires (in the rear).
I'd like to upgrade the width by 20mm to a 305/35-19; question is will I clear with a 2.5" drop (coils) in the rear?
Here's a current picture with the
setup.

I think most tire manufacturers want you to run at least a 10.5" with 305's.
On the forums some will say they will work, while others will say they are too narrow, I say best to go with what ever the tire maker recommends.

I'm pretty sure that most mfrs and the T&RA consider a 10" wide rim to be the minimum for 305/35's (in any wheel diameter). Keep in mind that relatively narrow wheels (like this proposed setup) will allow greater amounts of lateral tire distortion while cornering.
The "measuring width" for 305/35's is 11". Just saying . . .

It would be very close and id bet youd rub with that much lowering. It also depends on the wheel offset. I wouldnt risk it though if you want to stay lowered stick with 295s (those SHOULD fit, but still depends on wheel offset). I had to raise the rear of my car back to stock height to fit the 315's.
305s did fit fine with steeda sport springs i believe, if i remember correctly.

Better a picture than a thousand words . . . from Paul Van Valkenburgh's "Race Car Engineering & Mechanics". Kind of extreme, but all tires behave similarly (just to different extents depending on lateral g's, wheel widths, tire construction, etc., etc.).

So would you recommend just sticking to my original setup, the 285/35 on the 10" rim?

I'm not against the use of very thin spacers to solve a minor rub - the right front of my car gets an 0.025" spacer when the 18x11's go on for that very reason.
