Gt500 with 20" weld RTS wheels

[time capsule]

First off I want to thank the crew at BBR (Blow By Racing) for making this happen. I have never seen a 20" Weld RTS on a car never mind a Mustang. BBR assured me that they would look killer and IMO they do. Here are several pictures.

20x6 front with 225/35/20 Nitto Neo Gen's
20x10.5 rear with 315/35/20 Nitto NT05R's

Looks good! How are the 6" up front?

 

[TERMINATED97]

Thats badass! They look pretty similar to SP500's

 

[FordTT500]

Why did you go narrow in the front?

 

[stkjock]

the rims look good, but the front tires are WAY too big for a 6" rim, they are spec'd for 7.5" min, maybe ok on a 7"... but a 6...... not safe IMHO. Look at the bulge...

 

[FordTT500]

The tires are really low profile.

 

[BrokenCool]

Wheels look sick!!

Does your ABS light come on every once in a while? I would imagine it does with that much difference in tire size front to rear.

The rears look great. The fronts not so much.

Did u buy the set up mounted and balanced with the tires?

I agree, the fronts are way too wide for a 6" rim. The bulge on that tire looks down right scarry.
What's the weight on them?

I bought the front wheels used

The tires have no miles on them.

Weldcraft Wheels Wheel Widening Wheel Repairs Wheel Restoration can widen wheels to you if you don't want to buy another set of fronts. Widen the front 3 more inches. return those tires and buy wider front tires with more meat.

The welds look dam good. Just get the front sorted out and your golden.

Can you believe I just bought 235/45/20 tires to go on to get rid of the rubber band for tires that I have now. The tire in the pic are 225/35/20. Im I crazy to put the 235/45/20's on?They will arrive in a day or so.

I dont know. I almost rather get new front wheels and sell mine.

Nitto Neo Gen Fronts and Nitto NT05R Rear. I did not buy as a package but pieced it all together. This is the reason why it is nice to see it on a car prior to purchasing so you know exactly what to get. In my case I could not find another car with a 20x6 inch wheel. I guess you live and learn and I'm the test muel for the next guy.

the new tire (on order) is also a Neo Gen? I do not see that size 235/45/20 on the Nitto site

after some more looking a 235/45/20 is a 28.3" tall tire, WAY TOO TALL, IMO for the fronts. Also spec'd for a 7.5" min wheel.

you need more like a 205 or 215 - however I cannot find a 20" in that aspect ratio. Seems as if 235 is narrowest

Car looks great!!!

Car looks good! It will look GREAT when you get the wheel situation sorted!
