I am looking to purchase 20" Shelby CS40 wheels with Mickey Thompson Street Radial 305/35/20 tires and what should I get for the front? Would the 20" street slicks hook up just as well if they were 18's? Are these tires too short or tall for the car? I am deciding if I should do those wheels and tires, or save the money and add some 305/35/18 MT Street Radial to my stock wheels.

275 Conti DW is what I run. You may want the DWS if you drive it in the cold weather in NH although with a MT rear tire, I suspect (and hope) you don't drive it below 40 degrees F.

I don't think the 305/35/18 will fit on your stock rim...?

I am not sure what year your ride is but I have the stock rims at 9.5 wide and I do not believe the 305/35 will work.

Let me know if you know otherwise...? thanks.

On a side note, anyone here use both M/T ET streets and R888s and want to offer their opinion.

I am currently on the ET streets, but they are almost done and thinking about trying the R888s on my street wheel setup. As long as they are close to hooking as well.
