19x11 Forgestar F14 - OK with 285/35/19 and 325/30/19?

[YELL03]

I am ordering Forgestar F14s in 19x9 front and 19x11 rear for my 2011 GT500 Convertible.

I am going to run my Michelin Pilot A/S 3s 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 in the winter and then in the spring I am going to put on Michelin Pilot Super Sports
255/40/19 and 325/30/19 to try to harness the 600rwhp.

Has anybody run a 285/35 and/or a 325/30 on a 19x11 rim on their Stang?

Pics would be great.

I'm going with 305, but haven't installed them yet. Get them done next week. Would have liked larger tires, but didn't want to have any rubbing. I'm lowering mine 1.75 inches. Can't wait!

not lowering mine, hopefully no rubbing with the 325s.

I run a 325 30 20 Dunlop on a 11.5 widened Boze Tach and have no rubbing. I did cut the shock boot.

Did you have to cut it or did you just want to make sure?

What are you running up front? 275 or 285?

Pictures?

I removed both the bump stop bracket and shock boot to be sure rubbing would not occur. Up front I'm running a Boze Tach in 8.5" x 20" shod with 255 35 20 tires.
I have a couple photos here in this thread:

I might end up with 19x10 in the back just to keep things simple?

Go 11's...if you can...I assume you are going 10's due to tire sizing?

I am only going 10s because I don't want to do a Asjustable Panhard Bar and they are used for 1/2 price.

If I knew the 325/30/19 would fit without that I would buy the 19x11s

Spoke to Forgestar yesterday....

They recommend a 305/30/19 on the 19x11 with no issues, but that is a 26.2 inch tire compared to 27" stock.

I would be losing sidewall and only gaining 0.8" in width over the 285/35/19.

Also, my gear ratio would become even more lower geared (higher numerically) and that combined with less sidewall would make traction even worse.

It seems the best compromise might be a 295/35/19, that gains me 0.4" width and a little more sidewall, but they are expensive and not recommended for a stock 9.5" rim.

No reason to buy a 19x11 rim if only running a 295.
I am looking at some used CF5s in 19x9 and 19x10 staggered, that would work.

My favorite rims are the SVE drifts in 19x9.5.
If the 295/35/19 fit on that I would just order them and be done with it.
