Gt500 with 20" weld RTS wheels

[PistolWhip]

I would just have the fronts widened by an inch and a half and use the tires you have. The rims look great.

I wouldn't get a wider wheel to fit the tire, I'd get a narrower tire to fit the wheel. Whole point of bigs and littles is to reduce rotating mass?

Love the wheels. Just too much "rake" in the rear for my taste.:-D

Lookin' good!

Ill try

Do some research. It is not available. As stated before a 235 wide tire is as narrow as it gets with a 40 or 45 sidewall.

Lol you're the one who bought the wrong size tires for the wheels not me?

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

My wife has the 235/45/20 on her Benz and it measures 17.5 tall. Will a 6" wheel result a different measurement?

What?


Yes, wheel width will effect diameter. Not a lot, but it will, what brand and rim width?

ok, update. The 235/45/20 did not fit properly. I now need to get new front wheels. I actually just bent the front wheel due to a lack of sidewall.

Weld rts street version looks good.

New 20x9 front wheels with new 255/35/20 tires. Much better.

Much better indeed. Was wondering could you have also gone with a 19x9~9.5 in the front as well ? That is the pp setup on Shelby's.

They do sell a 9.5 wide wheel but Weld gets kinda crazy with the prices as the size gets bigger. I did not want to invest any more than I had to. I already have a ton of coin invested in this set up.
