Just got my Forgestars in, have question

[gassman]

Just got my 20x9 and 20x11 F14s in and want to get tires...
so far looking at Nitto NTO5s, what other comperable brands should I consider and how they fit is important, I dont want a lot of bulging out from tire. Thanks a head of time!!

I really want to try the BFG Rivals. I think they're on par with the NTO5's. You might be able to run 265 on the front and a 285 on the back. They also have a 315 but I dont know if they would rub.

Forgestar offsets will allow for a 275 front and 315 rear with those wheel sizes. You will need an adjustable panhard bar to center the rear wheels.

Personally I would look for a 305 in the rear.

While tires matter, you need to get the correct backspacing/offset for the wheels - that is the critical part.

offses are correct for 2013 GT500, just wanted to know who has been down this road and what tire worked out better

What offsets did you go with?

 

[IA Shelby]

Forgestar usually runs +35 on a 9 and 53 on a 11".

You can choose your own offsets from their range options though, I thought.

You can choose but most go with Forgestar recommended offsets.

I think I would look at the pilot super sports right now. the seem to be what people are liking mustng/camaro/corvette all the way around. I had nt05's on my vette but they were pretty wasted at 12k on them. the super sports should run longer than that.

on a car at this HP level other than just running more a track compound those are the two I would look at. I like the grip in warm temps of the factory goodyears but the road noise and grip when there cold is so bad I can't believe ford and chevy used them. Not sure what they were thinking.

Invo's are cheap have good strait line grip but the sidewalls buckle a bit at high G's in the turns. Have not had any experience with the rivals like posted above.

I'm considering the same wheels in 19x9 and 20x11. Where did you buy? May I ask what kind of deal you got?

I'm looking at MPSS tires. Probably a little smaller on the rear - most likely 305/30/20, along with either 275/40/19 or (stock) 265/40/19 on the front.

I look forward to reading your update when everything is installed... Sub'd. op:

Nice choice.
Looking forward to pics.
I plan on doing those same tires/sizes but with the NT05R (drag radial) on the rear.
That is a taller tire, just FYI on making the tall factory gear situation worse. I plan to correct that with 3.73s or 4.10s :burnout:
