More Tire and Wheel Help Needed

[ati]

I sold the 20” Shelby Forged Alcoas and I'm going with my original plan and getting the CCW SP500’s.

I want to go with 19” wheels and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.
I don’t race or track the car, I put about 3000 miles a year on it split between highway and local driving.

I’m not sure on tire and wheel sizes.

I was thinking about:
Front : 19 x 9½ with 255/40-19 (10” wide and 27” tall)
Rear: 19 x 11 with 295/35-19 (11.6 wide and 27.1 tall)

The salesman from CCW suggested different size front wheels and tires
He suggested:
Front : 19 x 10 with 275/35-19 (10.8” wide and 26.6” tall)
Rear: 19 x 11 with 295/35-19 (11.6 wide and 27.1 tall)

Vette Killer has CCW’s and he went with:
Front : 19 x 10 with 285/35-19 (11.2” wide and 26.9” tall)
Rear: 19 x 11 with 295/35-19 (11.6 wide and 27.1 tall)
I sent Vette Killer a PM and asked him for feedback on his set up but I haven’t heard back yet.

My stock tires are 27” high so I would like to stay close to that height.
Will to wide a tire in the front affect the steering or handling?
What would be the best Wheel and Tire set up for me and my driving habits???

Here is a pic of the CCW SP500’s photo chopped on my car.

Great choice!! Love the CCW's. :wtg:

[JTB]

Love CCWs...why not go with a 305 on the rear, if this combo is just for show, blow the wad on the big meats? You have an 11inch wide wheel.

The 295 is 11.6" wide and the 305 is 12" wide. The only 305 Michelin makes is 305/30-19 and its only 26.2" tall, I wanted to stay closer to the stock 27"

That makes sense...

Have you considered NITTO...a few more size options...yes, not as good a tire are the Michelin SS but you will save a ton of bread and may find a 305 that fits.

I run the INVOs on the street...on my 2nd set...good tire.

Alan, just some thoughts: if 10s fit on front, I'd go with them over 9.5s -- 10.5s better still (if they fit). The GT500 is heavy in front and the closer the width of the tire is kept to the rim width (assuming ture is wider, which it is) the faster the car will 'turn-in' -- i.e. more responsive to inputs and better handling -- actually smaller than the rim width would be the most responsive, but that doesn't make sense on the GT500 since wheel width/clearance up front is the limiter and you need plenty of tire to make the weight change direction. Actually I'd go wih the salesman's suggestions in this particular case assuming 10" wide wheels up front as the 275 are already wider than the wheels. If 10.5s are available and have no clearance issues, then I'd go with the 285 up front. If 10.5s aren''t available or have clearance issues and the most responsive handling is not the top priority, then VKs set up is nice since virtually identical height, tho the .5" diff (salesman's recom.) with 275 on 10s up front (.25" lower ride height vs rears) may not be all that noticeable anyway. If handling is top priority, 285 on 10s will make turn-in lazier than 275 on 10s and it will tend to plow a tad more (understeer), but we're not talking major differences since that is the character of this car to some extent anyway and you can combat it somewhat by running 3 more lbs pressure up front vs rear. However, that is why Ford kept the fronts relatively narrow -- turn-in response -- given that they want to stay in the tire sensor happy zone -lol. 3 lb should be within the range that the pressure sensors should be ok with (usually about 10% max) before a dash light. Actually, I'd go about finding the 'right' pressure by getting the front turn in responsive without compromising ride harshness too much, and then dropping the rear pressure 3 (or more if the sensor and computer gods will allow) lower. That hould be a good starting point. If sensors/computer don't balk you may find the rears need to be considerably lower pressure from fronts given corner weights and handling characteristics if you see what I mean.

I never ran Nittos before, I ran the Michelin SS on my 2000 Cobra and GT and was very happy with the ride and performance. Now you have me thinking.

If I were buying those wheels I would go with 19 x 9 and 19 x 11.

I run 20s on the street and 19s at the track.

Nitto Invo on the street Street, Toyo R888 @the Road Course but will run Hoosier R Race Tires next year.

Street Tire sizes:

255/35/20
295/35/30 (I would run wider but only have a 10" Wheel)

Track Tire sizes:

265/35/19
295/35/19

Put another way...

A tire narrower than the wheel width will be more stable and turn-in more responsively (check out Porsches). As the tire gets wider (on the same width rim) responsiveness decreases somewhat linearly (not exactly) until the width of the tire approaches the width as the wheel, at which point responsiveness begins to degrade more and more rapidly but is still reasonably stable as long as the tire doesn't exceed wheel width by more than 5-10% (I'd would not go more than 10%). However, because of the GT500's [im]balance and nose weight, the absolute front tire-footprint is also important -- bigger is better. So the two considerations are pulling in opposite directions. That's why you want the widest wheel you can run while still preserving the correct offset (which varies with width and tends to limit the widest you can go). Incorrectly moving the rim further out (to gain clearance) just messes with handling in other ways and also tends to ride more on one wheel bearing than the other (typically the outer wheel bearing) which also messes up steering feel, especially in turns. As a simple rule of thumb: run the widest wheel with a tire preferably no wider (but definately not exceeding wheel width by more than 10% max!!). Run front pressure to produce a good tire contact -- not less than 50% width-to-length, but also enough pressure to not scrub/understeer (there is no magic number -- it's trial and error) ...all the while keeping the rear pressure lower so it will 'track' whatever the front can deal out in turns (i.e. not swap ends). Of course the wider the rubber in the rear relative to the front, the lower the pressure will need to be (because the rear is lighter and you want it to track the front's 'lead'), but there are limits to how low you can safely go. You can see why it's always beter to start out with a well-balalnced car -- much easier to 'set-up' right) but given any car's W/D, the above are some of the primary considerations and is also affected by spring rates and roll-bar stiffness. This is why every NASCAR team has a programmable shaker-rig -lol- as do all the OEMs (Ford invented it for the GT40 program) but, trial and error S-O-P tweaking using the above considerations will get you in the ballpark. If wheels, tires/compound, spring-rates and bar-stiffness are givens (exisitng car with selected wheels/tires), all you can really tweak is air pressure ...that's why picking good wheel-tire relationships are so important, especially with fairy severe W/D. It's hard to put in words but the concepts are fairly straight-forward.

I thought I was the only one w 18's still on the car? Just looks more natural to me w a lowered car. :wtg:

Don't like the donk look at all!

[KC BadCat]

I still run 18s.....went with a new set of continental extreme contact DW last fall.....and still have a pair of 18X10 1/2 oem wheels that I had widened.......will figure out what to put on them this winter......plan to only run them in warm weather.

[Alloy Dave]

I have very little to add except that I have Nitto DRs on mine...forget the exact size...but in a perfect world I would have my wheels widened...I still have the stock rims and the tires would benefit from another 1-1.5 inches of wheel width. You wouldn't want DRs on your car anyway due to less longevity.

Good luck getting a good combination set up. Once you get it all figured out, an alignment would be recommended also.

I'm with you, buddy. I just can't make myself put bigger rims on this car. I have a set of 20" Alcoa's, but just don't like the look, so I bought a set of the 18" Alcoa's.

Thanks everyone for all your input.
I'm pretty sure I'm going with:

Front : 19 x 10 Wheels with 275/35-19 Michelin Pilot Super Sport (10.9” wide and 26.6” tall)
Rear: 19 x 11 Wheels with 295/35-19 Michelin Pilot Super Sport (11.9 wide and 27.1 tall)

The car is put away until spring so I probably won't order until March.

LOL, I won't take that bet, to far away and anything can happen.

I really like the CCWs and the only reason I dont have them now is because of the cost. I cant spend 5K on wheels and tires and hide it from my wife and she couldn't understand why I wanted to spend 5K on wheels. However she is good with it now. (Here's why) Last year I bought 4 new KR wheels for $800 and once I got them I decided they didn't look good on my car. I listed them on ebay and sold them after the auction ended for 2K so I paid no fees. 2 months ago I bought 5 new 20" Shelby Forged Alcoas off ebay for 3K and I really was planning on using them but figured I would hold off till spring to install them plus it would give me time to come up with the money for the tires. At the same time I noticed that Shelby Performance Parts was selling surplus Shelby Forged Alcoas and Super Snake wheels on ebay and getting big money for them so I decided to roll the dice and list my 5 wheels and see what I could get. I listed them for $5500 and they didn't sell but after the auction a guy contacted me and offered me 5K cash so I sold them to him. So $2000 profit on the Alcoas + $1200 profit on the KR wheels = $3200 total profit.

Here is the breakdown:

4 CCW wheels $2800...(Includes chrome valve stems, center caps and lug nuts)
4 sensors ....... $260
4 tires .......... $1520.. (Includes touchless installation and road force balancing)
Shipping ......... $175
Total Cost ......$4755
....................-$3200 Profit from selling 2 sets of wheels

My total cost = $1555 (NOT BAD FOR A COMPLETE TIRE AND WHEEL PACKAGE)

I'll measure them tonight and let you know. The car is lowered with the FRPP springs and Tokico shocks, and I have had no problems with the 315's rubbing. The 315's Toyo's run right about 12" wide at the footprint.

I have the same springs, same shocks and 305's w a 12" footprint. Even w an adjustable panhard to center things it still rubs when hitting certain bumps. :(

Wondering how your 315 don't hit, unless there is just that much difference in the Toyo's.

I'm running Nitto Invo 315's, and have not had an issue with rubbing, even with 100-150 lbs in the trunk. Maybe the Toyo's run wide like the MPSS's do.

Mine are Nittos 305/18s on 11" factory rims...perhaps he has a different offset on the rims.

Mine are Nittos 305/18s on 11" factory rims...perhaps he has a different offset on the rims.


+1 I agree.

Alright I am about to get new Shelby Razor 20" x 10" for the rear and I need to put tires on them. I have BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDW tires on them now which are no longer available. So which manufacture and model should I be looking at?

I agree w Nittos, though they can be very hard to find some sizes lately.

I think they got hit hard from that sunami a while back, and after on hand supplies were gone it was near impossible to get certain ones.

You would think they would have recovered by now.
