My stock tires are just about done. I Need to get a new set before winter comes as it's my daily driver. The question is the stock tires are way to thin. I want to go with a size 19 inch but not sure on the width of the tire. Maybe something that comes flush with the fender or close to it. It's a 2011 GT. What tires do you have and if you have pics can you show me how they look. I also drive it in light snow so the extra width should help out a bit. Suggestions please!

Stock is 18. I wanted to go 19 or 20 and wider width for grip.

Rim width?
Look to see if something like a shelby runs a bigger wheel and what size tire it uses.

There is a thread here on a fr500 that had 19x11 on the rear, didn't go through it to see what front size or tires, go to the shelby tech threads an look over there for some ideas meanwhile I look for some help.

Shelby uses 285 where mine is at 235. I think the 285 will work good. A lot better then the pizza cutters on mine. What size tire is 9.5 would that be a 285? I'm bad at this stuff.
