how big can i go?

I have a 2004 mustang gt with eibach lowering springs with 20inch american racing shelby torq thrust ms chrome. My question is i want to put wider tires on them. I run the 275 in rear now and have no issues but exquast pipes. I want to put a 305 or 315 on the rears. Anyone have this done or know if it is even possible. I have done some research but little answers. Any help would be awesome thanks guys

Was wondering if i had to maybe use wheel spacers ,longer wheel studs. Im also looking into a body kit to move exquast to the side but not sure still shopping. I would like atleast 305 on the rear.

I believe there 10 amd 8.5 in front. The 275 fit great with no clearance issues at all beside the exhuast..and that can be done differently so thats not issue. I just want a bigger tire on there so when i do have the 20 shelby on i still can get some traction if i need to line up on the street. I got drag slick on stock rims so im not worried about that either just for the looks and i need more rubber. That vortech makes her eat pretty well!!! Lol

You can fit up to a 315 in the back without any issues, just don't go any bigger.

You may have to get your inner fenders rolled on the rear.

Either a 30 or 35. I don't know exactly which one on a 20 in rim but they do fit. I would imagine its a 30 series.
