Mounting Nitto Invos on Alcoas. My 2010 shelby has Eibach prokit (lowered approx. 1-1.5 inches) and am installing a Hotchkis adjustable panhard.
Tire dealer is suggesting the 295/35/20 for rear, and 255/35/20 fronts.
Anybody have this exact combo? Any rubbing issues? with people in the back seat?

You put people in your back seat? Like real, full-sized people? Not double amputees or small children? Do you not like these people? :lol:

I have Razors with the rears widen 1-1/2" and the exact tires on my '07 GT500 and I don't have any issues.
It looks like it could but it doesn't. Make sure the pan hard bar pulls the tires to the exact center of the car.

Bad Snake What are the width of rear Razors? Are you saying that you put 295 on a 11.5 inch rim. The Alcoas are only 10. Dealer says 285 only come in 30's but 295 are better sidewall flex because they are 35's--more traction. Also, like the look of the higher profile.

And, yes to Boidster, the inlaws have to get home somehow. :hysterical:

The Razors in the rear are 10.5" with the 295/35/20's. The front's are 9" with 255/35/20's. I also have the Nitto Invos. They look and ride perfect. :rockon:

I'm curious if 295/35-20 Invos with the Alcoa wheels will fit without rubbing. I know some nittos are a little skinnier than advertised.
