20X10 40mm offset wheels on the front?

So I'm looking at the TSW nurburgring wheels in a 20x10 40mm offset, and wrapped in a 285/30/20 tire, will this cause me issues, is this TOO wide?

Thoughts? I'd really like to not go to a staggered set of wheels if at all possible.

I would go for the RTR's if you dont want the staggered look... they come in 19x9.5's

Can you go with a 20x9.5? Is there a reason you want the 10"? I have 20x9.5 Roush wheels and have no problems with tracking.

There are a set of Nurburgrings that come in 19x9.5 that fit the mustang perfectly as well, and I'll get those if this won't work, more curious if the 10s will fit in the front.

Thanks

Yeah, I wish I could go 20x9.5 but they don't make them in the right bolt pattern, its 20x8.5 or 20x10, or do the 19x9.5s.

I see what youre saying, yeah i dont think a 10 in would work in the front, biggest ive seen people run in the fron is a 9.5... you could do that all the way around, looks fine. Im running 9.5's all the way around and couldnt be more happier... just get some good tires and your set

The Boss 203R does use a 18x10" on all four. If you ran a 275/35-20, it may work and would probably be right at the edge of the wheel well. If you try it, I would test fit it with the wheel mounted before you bite the bullit on tires. You may have some rub on full turn and that will depend on how low your car is of course.

Yeah I noticed that about the Boss 302R wheels, also there is this thread here:http://mustangforums.com/forum/membe...ike-again.html

Where a guy put on 20x10s with a 40mm offset on his 2006 car, and he says it doesn't rub or scrape anything, fits perfectly. Soooo I'm thinking I'm going to give it a whirl, we'll see. I'll probably call rehagen racing and see what they have to say..... The Fr500C wheels are also 10".

All that aside IF it does fit would it give me handling issues? I think it wouldn't.

Heres a wacky thought for you guys.... 20x10.5 +42 offset with 285/30/20's ---

I know it will clear the brakes, question is... will it clear the suspension?

Dont flame me, its just an experiment I have in my head, and no I dont track the car. An idea for show... not for track use.

By my calculations I need an additional .75" (or 19mm) clearance between the inner tire wall and springs to clear the suspension than the factory Brembo wheels.
