295/30ZR/20 Toyo Proxes 4

they measure about 13.5" wide. Freakin' love them. Car sits on Eibach Sportlines, no rubbing. I was thinking of getting my rims widened and sticking some 335's under there. I'm not sure if it'll fit.

I just threw some Proxes 4's on my car. So far so good!

Could you post more pictures of the rear? Your picture doesn't seem to be coming up and i'd love to see a massive tire in the rear...

Although that looks great as i am running the same tires, there are two setbacks!
1st and most important you lose HP
2nd them Nitto's specificaly have sucky treadware and they ware out fast!
Other than that they look awsome!

So I am Running Invo's and have to say they grip amazing and the Tread so far is great... But was thinking about putting on some DR's next if you say NITTO's are terrible in the way of Treadwear --> What other DR's offer better Tread wear???

WALLACE: What size are your rims???

HEY! pike, i have the nitto's on 18-inch wheels. a 10-inch for the rear.
good or bad tread life... at some point we all (mustang owners) MUST put wide tires on . (and longtubes)
SO when i burn these. imma put the tires DIGITAL has but only in 18, never going 20" again.

So I have 295's out back on a 9.5 rim and they are Completely fine but want some DR's as I said before but I don't wanna put anything less than 295 but it seems the only sizes for DR's are 285 or 305 so I am kinda stuck although I do wanna replace my rims...

So Why aren't you going to put DR's back on? Why the Proxes 4's???

i luv these tires... only way i change tires is for a WIDER tire.

and i gotta say, there is a slight MPH adjustment that can easily be corrected w/ your
handheld (x-cal).
