I have 285's and they just fit. Definately couldn't fit anything wider than 295. I would have went with 295's but I couldn't find a set that had the same height as the front tires I got.

I like my 285's on 18x10's. It looks right with our cars.

Here is 285's on mine. Sure you can go wider if you want them to stick out from the car.

Are you running BF's ? Can't find 295/35/19's anymore. Only BF's make them. That sucks.

FWIW I got 285/40-18's out back. Got 255/45-18's up front. Same size as the Shelby GT500's. You might could go wider, but I don't see the need.

You're the one that did it

But check this out:

https://themustangsource.com/f637/he...ay-bar-488875/

"GT500 with FRPP handling kit. 335/30/20 rears.

I was able to pull the bar to one side for better clearance with a few tugs and a planted foot."
