New wheels and tires
I just got some new wheels for my 2014 mustang gt and I was wondering if I will have any clearance issues if I use a 305/35 19 on the rear

How wide are your wheels. Did you get the stock back spacing?
|
Tire needs to be correctly sized for the wheel ; wheel needs to be correctly sized for the car . . . . so like Glenn said, we need to know more about the wheels you got, specifically width and offset
|
305/35R19 tire would be looking at something around 19x11 with a 52ET.. And not all 305 tires are created equally when it comes to actual tread width

305 is definitely too wide for a 10" wheel
Best way I know to find out what tires fit on what wheels, is to look up the tires on Tire Rack and look at the "specs" tab; check the "recommended rim width" . . . you want your wheels to be at least the minimum width, better yet the "measuring width" up to the maximum width. The recommendations do vary a bit depending on make / model / aspect ratio; but generally 285 is the widest for a 10" wheel And assuming the wheels were sized correctly for your car, there will be no clearance issues with 285 |
You need to consider the wheel's offset when determining tire size too.
A 10"-wide wheel with a 40mm offset will fit flush with the fender lip in the back of a 2005-2014 Mustang, with the rear axle centered (usually done with an aftermarket adjustable panhard bar). That wheel with a 40mm offset will limit tire width to 285 or a 295 if a Nitto tire is used, since Nitto tends to run narrow. A 305 on a 10"-wide wheel will "fit" but it will have sidewall bulge which curves up the tread patch, so you don't end up putting down a 305 contact patch anyway. I've run 305/35/20 tires on 20x10 wheels, and I have many pictures of that fitment if you want to see. Not doing that again, it's a waste of money. So for your application, I'd recommend a 285/35/19 or 285/40/19 if you aren't lowered much (or at all) since the 40-series tire will be taller. |

I would like to see those photos if you have them and my rears are a 42mm offset and I am not lowered at all - I had tire rub in the back on the outside of the tires when they hit the fenders over bumps - the car is lowered about 1.5" all around: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7814/...3fc7ca72_o.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7823/...9ec162c3_o.jpg I ended up using adjustable rear spring perches so I lifted the back of the car about 1.25-1.5" and they didn't hit anymore: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7846/...317b2c8d_o.jpg This is a previous set, front 19" and rear 20" AMR wheels. The rears were 20x10 with 48mm offet, same exact rear tires as the set-up above, the rears tucked into the fender perfectly: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7836/...4237f3ea_o.jpg And a set of 305/40/18 rear tires on 18x10 wheels with 42mm offset, also no issues with rubbing: -the sidewalls bulged a bit since 10" wheel width isn't ideal for a 305 tire, and the bulge can be best seen in the last pic: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7815/...d472a0a8_o.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7821/...0fa6ce6b_o.jpg I'm currently running 285/40/18 front tires on 18x10 front wheels, and 305/40/18 rear tires on 18x10 wheels. I also have another set with the same size tires on 18x9.5 wheels all around :) I kinda like changing wheels up a bit :) |
