Rear Tires and Rims


WP64

Recommended Posts

I've heard of GT500 owners installing 295's on the rear, has anyone tried 305 tires on the rear? If you have, could you let me know what size rim's your using on the rear.

 

As far as rims go, the Super Snake's Alcoa rims are 20x10 for the rear, has anyone tried 10.5" wide rims on the rear? Maybe 18 x 10.5 could work but 20 x 10.5 might not?

 

I just want to get more rear tire patch on the ground and I'm wondering what others have done.

 

Thanks,

WP,

I have not tried any larger tire and wheel combos yet but will be soon. There is a tool out there that allows you to simulate maximum backspacing, maximum tire and wheel diameters and widths before you spend the money on new tires and wheels and then find that they dont fit. It is made by Percy's High Performance INC. and can be purchased from several racing equipment catalogs. Neat tool, may want to try it out, is a little pricey though....$90. I have not measured mine yet. I'll PM you a catalog number if I can find one.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF 20 INCH SS RIMS WILL FIT GT 500 WITHOUT SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS. THINKING ABOUT RIM/WHEEL CHANGE IF I DONT DO SS PACKAGE.. JUST DONT KNOW HOW BLACK STRIPES WITH VISTA BLUE WOULD LOOK. REALLY WISH SOME OTHER STRIPE COLOR WAS AN OPTION.
