Default 20" Foose Nitrous Rims with 315 35 20 Tires?

I have seen this on ebay, and I am wondering if there is a catch?
eBay Motors: NEW FOOSE MUSTANG RIMS WHEELS WIDE 315 35 20 REAR TIRES (item 250202530077 end time Jan-13-08 02:59:34 PST)
I know it says they don't rub, but I am wondering if there is any reason I should be cautious with the width of the tire, or anything else like that.

Thanks,
Jacob

I have 275/35/20

This is how much space I have with a 1.75 rear lowering spring. So you can be the judge and see that there should be plenty of room.

The Vredestein Ultrac Sesanta's hahaha those are the tires on my car right now. Great set of tires, offer a lot of grip and that pattern just does it for me. The tires are great under any condition or weather. Anyway I'm sure its possible I know that my guy told me I could have gone wider. I have the 275 35 20 in the rear and 255 35 20 in the front with Eibach lowering springs and there is no problem whatsoever.

I agree, the pattern alone makes the tires awesome.

Thanks for the info guys, I think I might have to do this, no I just need the money

I would do 295 or 275. Right now I have 17s they are 10.5 in the rear and 8 in the front. On the rear i have 315s. boy do they stick out. I think 295 would be good. Check out my gallery. Hope that helps.

Hey Deoraii!

Did you ever get those Vredestein tires with the 315's in the back? I just bought a 2008 and was actually thinking about doing the same thing. The guy told me they wouldn't rub or "scrub" as he put it unless there were people in the back seat or the trunk was loaded.

Was just wondering if you did go with the 315's, what you found out.

Hey, the Saleen rim/tire combo is 275/35/20s on 20/9 rims up front & 275/40/20s on 20/10 in the back, this is what I run on a stock 05 suspension. I don't have any rubs with or without passengers, they don't hang out of the fenders & they get plenty of attention & compliments. When this set of Pirelli's wear out I'm buying the Vredestein's of the same size. The wider tires in the back may stick out due to the rim spacing, I have seen tire set ups on Ford lots that are wider than mine on the back. Enjoy the ride!!!!!!
