Default tires and rims

Want to get widest tires I can get in the rear and the same for the front but won't rub tire walls when turning?

The size of the tire will depend on the size of the rims you will be using.

I'm no tire expert, buy I just put 275's on an 18x10 rim and there's plenty of clearance.

I've heard of people running 295's on 20" rims without an issue, but I'm not sure going any bigger/wider would be a good idea.

You can always call someone like American Muscle to get some professional advice. It's well worth the 5 - 10 minutes of time.

295 with 20's should work w/o an issue

If I buy a 2013 V-6 premium with the stock 17s, could I upgrade to the same 19s and 245-45-19 tire size as the 5.0 without having it screw up the speedometer?

I would say the 19's would work because 19's come on the performance package V6 if i'm not mistaken. As far as the speedometer I don't think it would be screwed up

Rims on the base model are 7" and I don't know what size is the widest for 7 inch.
Rim's go to 8", 9" 10" that I know of. I want wider tires myself.

I've heard people going as wide as a 305mm in the rear without rubbing... obviously getting the right offset on the wheel is the key here.

I've heard that 285s have been run on the front (again with the correct offset), but you will get trammeling with anything wider than 255mm.

The sidewall ratio will vary based on the diameter wheels you go with.
