Upgrading your Mustang GT to 305 rear tires can improve traction and handling. Here’s what you need to know before making the switch.

Stock Specs

Mustang GT comes with 275/35R19 tires front and rear. Wider tires require careful fitment checks.

Benefits of 305 Tires

Wider rear tires increase traction for acceleration, especially on track or drag launches.

Modifications Needed

Wheel offset, fender clearance, or slight camber adjustments may be needed to prevent rubbing.

Our Recommendation

For street/track combos, a 275/35 front and 305/30 rear staggered setup is optimal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need new wheels for 305 tires?
Depends on stock wheel width and offset; verify before purchasing.
Will 305 tires affect fuel economy?
Slightly, due to increased rolling resistance.
