I have 20X10 TSW 40mm offset rims on the rear of my 2006 GT Conv.

I have H&R race springs that lowered the car about 1.5"

Does anyone know if 305/35-20 Nitto Frag Radials will fit? Nitto says that they will fit the rim, but be a little tough to get on.

If they don't fit I guess I will go with the Toyo R888 285/35-20's. I was thinking the 275/40-20 Nitto is going backwards.

Any thoughts or experience with this?

Thanks.

the 305's will fit. A buddy of mine has 20x10 New shelby rims with that tire mounted no issues at all.

Would you know the offset or the model of those rims? Thanks!

I dont know that off the top of my head, but its the factory 2012 gt500 rims so prolly can find those some where with a simple search.

I think the stock shelbys are 45mm. Mine are 40mm. That's about a 1/4 inch.

I might be too far out then...

This is a 305/40-18 nt555r on 10 inch rims. The springs are Steeda Ultralights which give about a 1.5 in drop.

A 305/35-20 would be approximately .8 in taller (so about .4 inches closer to the fender then the pics. )


I hope this helps.

Thanks for the pics. That is exactly how far out i pictured them.

I am a little worried with the 20's being to close to the fender now.

I will look intothe offset in your rims to compare to mine.

you will VERY likely rub with a 40 offset
45 will be much better and 50 will be your best choice

Here is my 20 x 10.5 with 305 30 20s

It is a 45 offset

Are those the Nitto 555r's? Are they that bad for side to side handling?

Would they decently hook up with aprrox 600 rwhp? I figure you have a good amount of rwhp.

if you have 20X10.5 inch rims, they are .5 inch bigger than mine.

With a 45mm offset, your rim sits .25" inward more than mine.

So I think our rims both sit in the same place on the outside by the fender.

It may work... I don't want to buy new rims again...

Thanks Mellow!
