Hi guys and girls,

As a proud owner of an '07 GT, and lurker on the boards here for the last few months, I have my first question that I cannot find an answer for!!

I have 4 brand new 275/45/20 tires sitting in my garage just waiting to be put on something. (long story) Looking on Tirerack today I saw they have some nice 20" rims for the mustang 20x10 with 50mm offset for $109 a piece!!! They also have 20x9 45mm offset for $139 a piece.

So - I know that the 275/45/20 tires have a diameter of 29.8" compared to the stock 27.2" - so I'll have to recalibrate the speedo, and they will increase the overall ride height a little. But, they would certianly fill the wheel wheels! (I haven't lowered the car - yet!)

These will mainly be for looks - when I (rarely) go to the track I'll be going with some 17" M/Ts ... when the wife ok's the supercharger purchase that is! For under $500 I might be able to convince her that this would be a 'good way' to use the tires for now

So my questions are:
1) Will these tires fit front and rear, or will I run into tire height problems in the front? I don't really have a good way to test this right now....
2) If the tires will fit, could I run the 20x10 rims in both the front and rear? or would I need to stay with the 20x9 for clearance?

Many thanks in advance for any help/guidance you can give!!

i think someone on here is running tsw wheels 20x10 with 285 all the way around. not positive though.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Anybody else know if this can be done??
(asking forgiveness for a $500 purchase is a lot less likely to have me sleeping in the Mustang than asking forgiveness for a $500 purchase that does not fit!! LOL [:@])

The tallest I've seen is 295-40 (29.3") on the rear only, and they looked like a very tight fit for the height.
