Default Can I fit 20x11 with 315/35-20 radials in the back?

2013 GT
I think It can be done with some shaving and getting rid of the dust boots on the shocks, but I'd like some input from some one who might have tried or is currently running this setup. I also want to lower the car.

I thought the gT500 comes with 20x11, so if it works on them it should work on ours

The backspace will have to be 8.5 inches and you may have to trim the upper bump stop brackets.

I'm sticking a 2.8LC Kenne bell, some long tubes, catback, offroad x-pipe, and maybe some 4.10s soon, and My friend found a good deal on some Nitto NT05R 315/35-20 radials to help hook it all up.

may need some spacers depending on what wheels and offset you select, they will probably stick out from the fender a bit


295s on my 20x10.5's barely fit on mine with no spacers , and dont really stick out past the fender

315's will either need spacers to mount with the axle hanging low or the wheel offset needs to be different and they will stick out past the fender a bit i think.
