Didn't want 22s, found these 2013 GT500 knock offs on AM. 20x8.5, 30mm offset, with 275/50r20 Atturo AZ850. They seem pretty sticky so far.

Looks good, I might be concerned about load ratings though.

For the tires? I was referring to the wheels themselves.

That's with me in it, I'm 220, so 4410. The GT500 is 3850-3969. That's where I got my numbers from.

Oh yeah, well the GT500 does weigh a bit more than a regular Mustang. The new S650s are getting pretty porky too.

I was looking at a thread on brakes and needing a spacer if you have stock 21s. Is that because of the offset being 37.5mm and if you have a 30mm offset, you won't need a spacer?

Wheel width, offset and spoke profile all play a part in brake clearance. Your question as asked isn’t answerable.

It’s not. Those are GT500 replicas but they usually wont wont fit GT500 or GT350 brakes because of spoke clearance. They make templates for you to measure for the GT350 brakes and see what you may need or not need.
