Maximum wheel width on front of 06 Gt lowered 1.25 inches

[Joe88xj]

hey guys, wanted to ask around and see what you guys are running on the front as far as maximum wheel width and tire with combos? I'm wondering if a nine, nine and a half or 10 inch rim is going to rub on the front? I'm looking at the 2015 performance pack 19 inch wheels. I like to go around corners though couple of questions what's the widest Tire and wheel combo you guys are running? On the front.

10" with a 275 tire, zero rubbing. This is with Steeda sport springs. 20x10 wheel, +40 offset. 275/35 20 tire. 285 would probably work just as well.

11" can be done, get a set of forgestars from Vorshlag as that is the closest as you'll get for foolproof if you want to go that wide out front.

9.5" 45mm offset with 275/35/20" tire, square setup. Eibach pro kit springs, Koni adj struts/shocks, GT500 strut mounts. No clearance/rubbing issues whatsoever!

For daily, I run 19x10 ET42 with 285/35's square and there are no clearance issues.
For track, I run 18x10 ET43 with 285/35's square and there are no clearance issues.

What year is your car? In 07, with introduction of the GT500's 9.5 rims, Ford started including steering limiters to prevent rubbing when the wheels were turned to full lock. 05 and 06 owners would typically experience this when they would put the GT500 rim on. Not everyone had this problem though. If you use an aftermarket rim with a different offset, you'll probably have no issues. If you do notice any rubbing, it can easily be solved with a quarter inch to a half inch wheel spacer.

Initially was going to run 275/40-19 square set up on 10" rims but wound up not liking the look and dropped the front tire size down to 255/40s. No rubbing issues with the 275s though.
