wheel setup help and suggestions

Hey so I just ordered my amr dark stainless wheels for my 2013 5.0 from American muscle. I got 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear.

I was wondering what would be the widest tire I could run in the rear without rubbing issues.
Car is at stock ride height but I'm going to be getting springs soon, so I also wanted to know which springs you guys recommend.
Post pictures of your setup if you have something similar
Thanks!

I would go with nothing wider than a 285, but I believe you can go as wide as a 305 without problems. As for springs I recommend Steeda Sport springs. You might want to think about changing shocks and struts while you at it. I recommend Koni Yellow.

the widest tire you can go with is 315 , depending on your offset though.
with the 10.5 , like mine, im runnign a 305/35/20....no issues.
with a 1.5 drop in the back a 285/30/20 , the tire is small and does not fit in the wheel whell enough.

I also have a 10.5 wheel with +45 offset. I am using Eibach pro springs with a minimal drop. Can I use 305/30 tire?

I've seen some Mustang that has 315's on 10.5 wide rims and they are flush with the lip.
