Nitto recommendation with Alcoa's

[Kel]

Hi, I've got some 20 x 9 front and 20 x 10 rear Alcoa 50th wheels for a '14 GT 500. Car will have upper 600 HP with stock suspension/not lowered, driven in mostly dry weather with maybe a quarter mile a year but mostly just cruising. Shop doing the mods recommended Nitto INVO 285/30-20 fronts and NTO5R 315/35-20 rears since MPSS have been impossible to find. Would you agree or recommend otherwise? Thanks for your input and P&D.

Thank you for the post, Kel.

If you'll mainly be cruising the vehicle then you may want to rethink the drag radials in the rear as they are not the best option for street handling. A solid set-up to consider is the NT05 (non drag) on all four corners. This model delivers responsive handling and for a street tire, hooks up well from a dig. When it comes to size, the 285/30R-20 | 315/35R-20 combination may look awkward due to the 2-inch tire height stagger. I suggest 275/35R-20 in the front with 315/35R-20 in the rear.

Thanks for the reply, Matt. Just to make sure, the 20 x 9 fronts have a 24 mm offset and the 20 x 10 rears a 36.7 mm offset. These are the 50th anniversary Shelby forged Durabrite wheels. You don't see any issue with those tire size recommendations then bulging/sticking out, etc? I figured the 315/35-20 might be too wide? I'm assuming reusing the 2014 TPMS with those wheels and your tires (thought I'd read you need to go to the 2012 model year TPMS for some reason somewhere)?
