Default rim widths
Hi-ya folks, quick ? before I buy my new rims. I bought my 05 Stang GT about 2 months ago & it has "Enkei" 20x8.5 "Capone" chrome rims all way around. The tire size is 255/35ZR20/97W. The tires are brand new & would like to keep em so I was planning on buying 2-20x8.5 for the front & 2 20x10" for the rear. God I really hate chrome! Can the tires I already have fit both front & rear new rims?? I dont see a real big difference. Thanks for the help, Robie

yes they will be fine on the 8.5 width, but not on the 10'' width rears.

do you mean the width? or just the fact that its a 20x10

I run 17x10.5's out back with zero issues.
