20 Inch Wheels, Tires?
I am considering going to 20 Inch Foose Nitrous Wheels with 20X8.5 ifront and 20x10 Rear. I am interested in what would be a good tire size to go with.
I have recieved a recomendation froma member on this board for the following:
Front: 245/35/20
Rear: 285/30/20
I just saw a Foose Mustang at my local dealer with the same wheels and it had the following:
Front: 245/40/20
Rear:275/30/20
Any recomendatiions on the above sizes? Also, I am looking at Nitto 555 (Which were on the Foose Mustang) or BF GoodrichG-Force KDW2 any feedback on these tires?
Thanks!

I run the Foose Nitrous.
Currently using Falken Beta FK451's. 255/35/20 Front and 285/30/20 Rear.
There is still room for more tire even though I am slammed (Eibach Sportlines) to the ground.
I think that a 40 Series would be a perfect fit with these wheels. Goodyear has the 255/40/20's and 295/40/20's. These will be my next size tires once the Falken are ready for replacement.

Your car looks great... Here is a couple pictures of the Foose Mustang I saw at the dealer... One of the nicest Foose Mustangs I've seen. If you look close on the hood, you'll see a large grey stripe on the hood.

I have heard nothing but praise for both the BF Goodrich and Nitto tire lines. I guess it comes down to your personal preference and the cost of the particular line of tires. The BF's do have a really aggressive looking pattern.

hmm
Hold on a minute! If you are replacing your stock mustang tires (235x55x17 or 235x30x18) which are 27.1inches tall and replacing them with 295x40x20 which are29.5" tall! There has been many thread on 20" rims and tires in the past and most all of them end up with the same members 'sharing' their opinions. Now IF 29.5" tall tires were the onlytire avalible to fit 20" rims the I would be on the other side of this fence and agree most on here that20" hurt performance with no performance benefit that can over come the WEIGHT and change in HEIGHT difference.
imho Don't run the 295x40x20! They are just to tall.
I currently (ok summer tires) run255x35x20 on 20x8.5 in the front and 285x30x20 on 20x10 in the rear on both of our 06 Mustangs. If you get a light rim there is minimal performance loss (NONE if you take into account the added contact patch with the wider tire and have additional HP) because these rear tires are 1/4 shorter in height!
