ok guy i am looking at these rims.

http://superbuytires.com/wheels/model/Blingz/Ghost+GT/

My concern is that 1 are they to big 2 will they have clearance problems.

If i do get these rims what is the bigest tires that i can put on these rims without rubbing.



O and P.S. I get my 06 black GT in like a week =)


Will have: white racing stripes : Rims and tires : either loudmouths or spintech exhaust : Billit grill

Thanx GUYS

The fronts are 8.5 and should be no problem. Not sure about the back 10 inchers.
If you go with the 20" rims (and I've seen them on several Roush's) like the Mustang they have there, I'd guess maybe 255/30 front and 295's in back? They don't show the same profile though...
Anyone got experience with actual sizes?

Ive got 20"x 8.5" all the way around with 255/35/20 tires. Works great and leaves enough clearence to lower the car with the Saleen suspension next month. same size lets me rotate the tires to get longer tread life and spend the money on mods and gas

I'm running 315/35's on the rear and 255/35's on the front. 20" wheels, 10" rear and 8.5" front. No suspension mods at all and no rubbing (so far).

Nautique where did you get your tires from and what kind are they? I am having a rough time trying to find a set of thoes 315/35s for my 20" rims

Thanks

They are Proxes ST's - Les Schwab Tires, I'm sure many other dealers sell Proxes Tires. There is another thread on Proxes Tires somewhere in the forum.

how is the traction on dry and wet pavement on thoes. Also does any body have 255/35/20 and 315/35/20 that have good wet/dry traction.

I have Proxy ST's on my ride and they are excellent wet and dry! I can hear some road noise, but overall, one of the best tires for the cost. Also, I've done a few burnouts and they are a hard rubber tire that doesn't squeel alot but puts out the smoke LOL. They are also holding up real well under the abuse. [&:] Last burnout was over 200 feet with both tires burning and smoking like an SOB, you should see the rubber left on my rear quarter panels, enough to make a spare tire. My ride is still stock as a rock with no tune (still having alot of fun with this car). A tune is coming and maybe another 100' in burning rubber LOL.

This site is great for sizing up diameter of rims and tires. You have to then figure out the wide of the rim to fit the tire you want. You can compare them to stock to avoid any innacuracies in the speedometer.
