I have a 2005 Mustang GT and have finally saved up for some new wheels. I am leaning toward the Foose Hornet rims and I like the staggered look so I am thinking 20X8.5 on front and 20X10 on the rear. A local shop suggested a tire size of 245/35/20 on the front and 275/35/20 on the rear. Looking for comments from anyone out there that has this size wheel or has seen this size on the 05 + mustang.

I've seen those sizes before on an S197 and they look good. I'm not familiar with the Foose Hornet wheel but I'm sure they're awesome, plus they'd be different. I applaud when someone does something different than what everyone else is doing.

Ask me why I ran "only" a 13.54.

Bump it up to 255 in the front. Go 255 35 20. I mean its your choice, but in my opinion it looks better

I agree, go with the 255's in the front thats what I have but with a 40 series tire, I'm running a 275 in the back but next time going with 295's, there is plenty of room for the wider tire. I have the Toyo proxes S/T good tire for the money.
Here's a pic where you can see that there's plenty of room to go wider in the back

Those are pretty awesome, thanks for the advice. I think your right, I am going to look into the 255/40/20 for the front and the 295/40/20 for the rear.

Supposedly you could even go larger in the back...I was looking on ebay for rims and ran into a place showing 255 35 20 in front and 315 35 20 in rear..I attached a few pics that show them....One pic has stock on left and the 315 on right.... Interesting setup
