18x10 D-Force wheels with 285x35 Hankook RS3 or 295x40 Hoosierdaddies. I started running a square setup last year. Added an adjustable front bar and made it tighter and worked all the oversteer out of it and got it back to neutral pretty easily.

Will be adding an adjustable rear bar this year along with adjustable front endlinks so that I'll be able to fine tune the car once I go to AST 4250 coil-over setup.

Please post photos of those when they are mounted on your car. I like that wheel a lot. What finish did you get on them?

John, only you could make 18x10s look small.

Do those wheels use a centering ring or are they lug-centric?

They are HUB-centric! No centering ring necessary.

will a 265/35/19 Hosier fit on the front of a 2011 GT with the Bembro brake package, I have 255/40/19's stock on it now? I was thinking of putting 4 on matched up with Ford Racing Boss 302S Machined w/Black Accent rims.

what is the widest 19 inch tire that will fit on the front, anyone know?

Hoosier A6 or R6? A 265/35/19 will fit with no issues. In autocross and using the A6 tire, the F-Stock guys are fitting 295/30/19's on all four corners.

With the correct wheel, you can fit a 315/30/19 up front.

I have 275/40-18's which are about the same diameter as the 255's. Fitment is fine with the FRPP 302S wheels (18"x9.5") I don't know what the offset is offhand, but with those rims spacers are not needed.

The wheel lists backspacing but I think this is the conversion
6.65 backspacing - (9.5 width/2) = 1.9 offset ~ 48mm offset

They use the stock lugs correct? I know I asked you about the studs a week ago and you said they used the same ones whereas I know the 302R ones don't. Thanks

Stock studs and nuts work great. The rims are hub-centric too.
