Wheels and tires

[Darth fiveoh]

What are some of the wheel size y’all run I’m thinking of running 20s on my 2011 GT

Depends on what look you’re after and what you do with the car … just street, or drag racing, or track days? On my 12 GT500 I took off the factory staggered 19”F/20” rear and put 19x9.5” with 285/35 all around so that I could rotate front to back … primarily because I do some track days with the car.

Since you're considering 20s, I assume you aren't looking for a street/strip setup?
The "goldilocks" zone for handling performance on these cars on the street while still allowing normal tire rotation is an 18" or 19" X 10" wide wheel with 40-45mm offset. The 19s don't really gain you anything over 18s except for a larger selection of 285 width tires. 20s have plenty of tire choice as well but will generally be heavier, more expensive and give a harsher ride. Up to you if the tradeoff is worth it for the look.

Here's my 18x10 F (285/40/18) and 18x11 R (315/40/18).

15" x 10" is the way to go if we want max traction.







But for the street I use a staggered 18" set up. 20"s for me are too harsh of a ride. You also lose a lot of sidewall height which can hamper traction from a standing start.
