I need help with this situation:

A person want to trade his wheels/tires for my brembo/tire/wheel.
This are the rims and wheel him want to trade in for mines..(photos below)

i have mix feeling about this..
question
1. That tire is wide, that going to fit my car with out any problem?
2. That set of wheel/tires can look good on my stang?
3. My brembo wheels look better?
3. You think that is a good deal for me or not?

the dimensions of the tires are ,
- Tires Kuhmo SPT 285/35/19 In the back
- 255/40/19 Front

Just give me your opinion?recommendations or any tips?

Thanks in advance!

 

So these are American Muscle '13-14 GT500 SVTPP replicas from the looks of it.

The thing I don't like is that the front tires at 255/40 are slightly taller than the rears at 285/35.

To me that's a no no as the front tire should never be taller than the back in overall diameter.

To my eye it's aesthetically not pleasing.



IMHO

 

Thanks a lot for your opinion,
in the photo of the car, the tires look asymmetrical( good dimensions) , i dont see the front of the tire is bigger than the back, why is that ?

 

It's a minuscule amount

Probably not even perceptible unless really looking for it

According to 1010tires.com tire size calculator the front tires are 27.03" tall and the rears are 26.85" tall

So about .18" taller or 3/16"

But still completely wrong again only in my opinion

I would never even consider such a thing in my own cars

 

Agreed. And the Brembo wheels are worth more than those aftermarkets. The Khumo tires are pretty cheap also. I personally think the Brembos are ugly wheels so I don't blame you for wanting to trade but 305's out back would be needed. Also, did those wheels come with that finish? Pics look a little strange. If you do trade, make sure those wheels are all straight. Get them taken off the car and checked on a balance machine. Couldn't tell you how many times people have tried to sell wheels with one or two bent and not said anything.

 

I think the look is good but I think the quality of factory wheels is better than those wheels you are trading for, I am biased, I like the brembo wheels. Many people say the Pirelli tired are horrible but I think they are better than the kuhmo tires.

 

Kinda hard to gauge quality of wheels nowadays. Chances are, the same company is making the factory ones or ones just as good. Ford isn't making those wheels in their own wheel factory. They sublet that type of stuff out to wheel manufacturers. I remember years back, Enkie made factory wheels for many manufacturers. So quality between aftermarket and factory really doesn't mean a whole lot. The factory ones just have Ford embossed on the back of them.

 

THANKS FOR HELP ME OUT!!

i decided:
IM GOING STAY WITH MY BREMBO WHEEL!
in the future im going to buy the wheels and tires that i want.
Thanks for helping me in this matter.

WELL DONE TEAM!!

 

Good Choice.

 

If I had an 11+ mustang, the only rims I would get would be the RTR.

 

Very helpful! Thanks a lot for this vital information

 

I would trade them
