20” Roush wheels with wide tires

[Impact13]

Good Afternoon!

Have a set of chrome 20” 5 spoke Roush wheels on my 2013 GT. Car currently has 275/35ZR20 Cooper tires on all 4 corners. Looking to put slightly larger tires on the rear end of the car, just for looks- don’t track the car. Car is on stock springs and going to stay that way (I know they look better lowered, but won’t go in & out of my driveway so it’s not an option). Pictures please if you have a similar setup - suggestions welcome. Thanks in advanced!

Iv'e seen some get away with 285/35/20s on the rear. I'm doubtful you can go that same width on the front, Roush installs steering stops on the front of their 10-14 cars with the 20" options.

Thank you sir - only looking to do something on the rear anyway.

How wide are these rims?

I used to have these exact same wheels and I believe they are 20 x 9.5. I wouldn’t go anything larger than a 275 but you could go with a 285. You aren’t really going to get very much performance out of going a 285 vice a 275. I love the look of the Roush wheel. I think it is the best looking wheel for this car. If they would have been 20 x 10 I would have kept them and had the rears widened like I did with my current setup.

So do Nitto 555Rs still run significantly narrower then indicated? I have these wheels as well and curious if I could squeeze the 305s on them without rubbing. I remember back in the day being able to spot an obvious difference in 275 between my 555r and my other 275 tires. It was a stupid difference that made me go to the 315 on my 17 inch wheels.

Resurrection of a thread but what the hell
