RE: 06 Mustang GT tire sizes?

Im with doodad. Personally i think 315 on rear and 275 on the front is overkill, thats not my choice. Who knows, maybe it will work out better than any of our set-ups. Never hurts to ask questions. Im running 285x40x18 on rear and 255 on front. I couldnt be happier.. sticking that power twice as well as stock. Wider is better... acceleration, handling, stopping.. Only drawback I see is top speed. Sooo MORE POWER TO YA! Let me know how it works out!

I made a thread in outter section for our 05+ cars but im wondering if you can fit a 305-25-20 on the rear with a 2" drop

Let me know how this works out for you.I have a 2 inch front and 2 1/2" drop rear,am also going with 20's.I was going to be safe with a 285/35/20 rear.But would like to put a 305 on there.Most lowered 05+ with 20's that is see,have a 275 or 285 on the rear.Looks to be right out at the fender lip (which i want),so i guess the the backspacing is what will determine a 305 tire.I didn't pay attention to how much space is in the rear well when i was installing my springs..DOH.[&:]

I'd be happy with 305 in the rear. Though I think I'm going to go with 255 front, 285 rear.

I put 295-18s on the rear of my 05 with no problem. But have not lowered yet.

Mr. Dad...or is it Doo for short...Good to hear your dad was a "chef" for Ford .... sound like another spoiled brat syndrome. It doesn't make much difference what model cars are on the shelf, its really what's between your ears that counts. Listen to the voices of reason, 275s max on the rear....255s front....tub the car? Why...are wheelie bars next?

That rear tire won't hit the fender on a big bump? Looks like it sticks out a little past the fender lip.
