tire widths

i'm looking to move away form the 255/40zr19 & 285/35zr19 staggered setup to a squared set up. idealy i would like 285s or 295s on all four corners .

post what squared set you are running on your 5.0 (including wheel sizes & offsets ) . pictures would be awesome as well !

Running Forgestar CF5's in 19X9.5 and BFGoodrich KDW 285/35/19's front and rear....offset is +33 front and rear.....gives me a chance to rotate tires that way.

Get 18's

You can actually get race tires for them at a better price.

I run 285's at all four

In a 2012 boss with all the bolt on crap.

You really have to get the right tire size with 18's. most people put tires too small so it looks off a bit.

Depends if you want narrow profile ghetto style or more medium profile 18's which look & handle great.

RTR 19x9.5 w/ Nitto 275/35's. I may get 285's when it's time to replace. I rotate every 3K.
