Tire size

[ItsReal]

Hey all I'm sure this has been a topic before however I'm new to the Brotherhood of Shelby and was just curious if a 305 tire will fit on the 2013 Wheels. If it does please send me pictures of how it looks thank you in advance!

People do it, but it’s against manufacturers recommendation. Nittos run narrower than most other tire manufacturers.

That’s exactly why actually. A 285mm tire is the max recommended size for a 9.5in tire and most tire shops, like discount tire for example, won’t mount a tire wider than the manufacturers recommendations.

Having said that, there’s quite a few guys running 305s in a Nitto tire without issues. I sure as hell wouldn’t put a Toyo 305 on a 9.5in wheel though.

I run Michelin 315 on the rear on stock 14 rims. Does it fit with out any issue? Yes. Is it over the manufacture recommendations? Yes. Are there any handling issues? Nope. Is there any tire bulge? Here is a pic. FWIW...I have no problem / issues at all exceeding recommendations.

Racedeck...was sort of fun to design and snap together.

I’ve been on a 305 for 13,000 miles. No problems.

I’m not running it to 200 mph either...

Nice... What size are you running for the front with the stock 19" rims?

Actually what over size tire can you run? Anyone?

 

[raustin0017]

Up front are 295/40

 

[biminiLX]

That can’t look good up front.

Wow... Any larger pics you have you can share?
Also any issue with steering during low or high speeds? Turns?
Any performance issue?
I appreciate the info!

Would be an interesting look on how wide it is compare to stock.
I personally like the wide look but don’t want to compromise too much of its performance.

 

[raustin0017]

No rubbing, no issues, handles great...but they might look hideous to some? To me...it was exactly what I was looking for. Widest rubber in the rear/front with stock rims.

NOTE: Moved from Charleston, SC up to Virginia Beach...Race Deck floor is on order.

I was on stock rims & 305's for 2 years and beat the snot out of them ....occasionally.
I then swapped those same 305x35x20 MT's on to a 11" rim and I believe traction was even better. New 305x35x20 MT's in the garage not mounted yet.
