How big of Wheels/ Tire size

Hey everyone, i am a new member here to the forum and just bought my first mustang ever. Got a redfire 2006 Mustang Coupe Gt. And I recently ordered some Carrol Shelby 20" CS69 LE's and they are a staggered 9in and 10in wheel. I know 255's will fit on the front wheel but don't know how wide I can go on the back tires without lowering/adjusting anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Congrats on the car and welcome to the forum. I've had 295's on my 9.5" wide rear wheels with no problems , so with a 10" you should have no problem. I know some people have gone as wide as 305 , which should also fit on 10" rim.

Where did you find CS69 LEs? I want a pair of 10s for the rear of my car because the first owner put 9s all around. I even went to CS wheel HQ and they have been out of stock for quite awhile. 285 will be an easy fit. I have 275-35 Nitto Invos on my 9 inch rears.

Got them from a ware house in Springfield Missouri. I've had the same problem with trying to find 10"s. I got the last two there

You can probably go as wide as 295 without any problems , I ran them on my 9.5" Steeda Spyer wheels which have a 45mm offset.
