I've got an 11 GT Premium lowered 1/2 , and currently run a staggered setup of the American Muscle Rims, 19x10 Rears with a 275/40/19 and 19x8.5 in the front with 255/45/19s. I have an extra set of 19x8.5s that Im doing nothing with because the previous owner went with the wider wheel setup later and still had the 19x8.5s laying around so I have them as well..

Is there a drag radial out there anywhere that will fit the 19x8.5 amr wheels? Or are they just destined to go to waste..

I've decided I'm probably going to buy ANOTHER set of 19x10 AMR rims, and just go with the NT05r 305/35/19 or the Mickey Thompson ET Street 2s in a 305/35/19.

I bought the car with the 19x10s and 275/40s, so would the car had the sway bar relation brackets on it already? And if not, will I need them to run the 305/35/19s? I looked at the tire size calculator, and the 275s are 10 inches wide, an the 305s are a little over 12 inches wide...

My car came lowered with the 1/2 drop, and I notice its dropped with steeda springs, and their blue, I note that because the sway bar has the same color blue rods around it going up ..


Do the 19" radials hook as good as Ive heard? I've talked to a guy on here before that ran 10.6s or lower from what I remember using this same setup.. its 12 inches wide tho, and I'm dropped 2 inches?!

I'm dropped on eibach sportlines and am running a 305/30-20 tire on a 20x10.5 with a +45 back spacing. It fits like a glove imo. The key is the back spacing on the wheel as much as the width. My tires in theory are about a 1/3 of an inch taller and just as wide as your 305/35 19 set up an there is no clearance issues at all. My car is 2+ inches lower in back. I hope that helps you.

I doubt the car has relocation brackets. Look at where they mount by the tire and see if there's a extra shiny piece of metal.

That's a great looking Boss. I ran 11.92 with street tires, and I'm wanting to gas it now with radials.. There was a car that looked very similar to yours at the Pony Wars that I ran, and he smoked me, I believe my best that day of 11.92 (really messed up tune) was against him.. Anyways, he ran a 11.10 , Not sure what was done to it..

I'm imagining a 1 inch difference on each side of what I have now.. and I don't see where it would hit anything.. No shiny pieces, but I know that the car has been lowered since the beginning of 2011 or late 2010, he told he bought it brand new around then and had all the work done to it..
