I know you guys have probably been asked these questions a hundred times, but I am usually in the 5.0 forums. I have just purchased a set a 20" Foose wheels for my wife's 05 GT.

I am looking at ordering tires now. The rims are 8.5" in the front with a 35mm offset and are 10" in the rear with a 40mm offset.

I want to run 255/35/20 up front and 285/30/20 in the rear. My question is will I experience any problems with these fitting. I believe they will fit fine, but am just looking to clarify before I order.

My other question is to those with 20" rims already. Is your speedo still accurate? If not, what will I have to do to correct it?

Thanks.

because your wheels+tires will be in the 28inch range, your fine on both rubbing and speedo.

Actually, topstang, your choice of tires is a hair shorter than stock. MANY people run those sizes from what I've seen. You'll be fine with those.
