supersnake94 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I know the 2013 GT500 has launch control and a torsion kit, but I am still curious if there are bigger tires on the rear wheels. Does the GT500 still have 285 mm tires or did they finally put 305 mm tires on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crushinator Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 285's............Sucks!!! Are you freaking kidding me? I thought for sure they'd at least put 315's on with 650 horsepower. For crying out loud, how hard it is to make a wheel 11" wide and put some real meat on the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportscars Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 While I'm not sure exactly why, Ford must have a reason for not doing this. I do know that after 11" there starts to be some serious clearance issues. Even 305's are not going to help that much with 650HP! There comes a point where you just cant keep increasing wheel/tire size to keep up with the HP. You have to learn to control the throttle. The Launch control will do WAY more to help than wider tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
