Help finding tires to fit w/ Eibach Pro kit
I have a 2008 GT with the Eibach Pro kit. Im going to be getting the 20" Saleen 7 spoke wheels from American Muscle and Im wondering what size tire I could fit front and rear without rubbing or other issues?
Wheels will be staggered 20x9/10. Offset is +30/+48. Here's the link to the wheels I'll be getting.

I'm getting the same kit, just 18's instead of 20's. I'll be dropping after I get these wheels and tires but it looks like 1.4/1.5 inch drop front/back.
If my search-fu is strong enough, I believe I can fit a 275/40/18 on the front and a 305/40/18 on the rear. Now, personally, I want to fill the wheel well as much as I an and I don't mind the tires poking a bit out of the wells. As long as I'm not damaging tires or suspension components, I'm ok with it. I have never tracked my car, and likely won't ever. It's my DD/hobby car.
Personally, since the wheel wells on these cars are so huge, I'm more worried about fitting wheels to tire sizes than a bit of rubbing.
Your tires can't be quite this big because of the extra wheel size though. I briefly considered 20's but decided I'd rather have huge rubber than wheels.

You should be fine. I have 19" AMR's and there's at least 4" of gap in the rear with my 275/40 and 3" in the front with the 245/45 (and yes I'm planning to dropping it). I have not had a problem at all, but also heard others say the same as well so you should be ok.
I just purchased those springs and I want to put them in without the shocks/struts because I'd rather use up the rest of the life in my stock ones. I don't know if anyone would buy them with 17K miles... My gt is still a baby lol.
How do you feel about your setup?

my buddy has a pro kit and 20x11s in the back with 305s and it does not rub. I have H&R super sports on my car and I know I could fit a 305 on my car with no rubbing. Whatever you get will not rub
