Thanks Stangtime! Makes sense. I am in between the Steeda minimum springs and the bmr minimum springs right now. I like the bit of rake you get with BMR but Steeda has a bit more spring rate. Im glad your combo works out, thats probably the one I will be going with as well.
Im looking to lower my car more for looks than for handling. It’s a base GT, will never track it and want to keep it comfortable for daily “spirited driving”. I am on 20” wheels now, but plan on going to 19’s. Currently have steeda IRS bases.
After reading through through many helpful threads...
Hey guys,
What fills in the fender gap better:
285/35/20 (27.9 inches tall)
or
275/40/19(27.7 inches tall)
Or any other setup you suggest
looking for options that allow me to remain stock suspension and not have such a gap.
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I thought 19” wheels were a better ride because of the added sidewall. But i see a lot of members here using 285/35/19. Would the ride quality be the same as a 285/35/20?
Im guessing the sidewall would be the same thus, same type of feel driving?
Thanks for this. Tried it this morning. Still need to keep practicing but def see a difference by pushing clutch down and moving shifter at a more syncronized movement. I think I had fallen into more of a: clutch first then move shifter. This post is very helpful for all us new stick shift drivers.
What do you guys recommend as the best wheel/tire setup for stock suspension?
I feel like a lot of people that go aftermarket eventually have to lower it because of the wheel gap.
Wondering if you guys have experienced this…
Staggered wheels
Front:
20x 9.5 +33
255/35/20
Rear:
20x10.5 +45
285/30/20
i thought the rear tires would stay with a 35 sidewall? Do wider tires fit on this setup?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Seriously. South Florida is a lot of traffic. Last month I was driving a rented mini van in northern Georgia and was wishing I had my Mustang with me LOL.
