Fitting the 305’s

We battled but they do look good with the 23mm wheel spacers I fitted them to the 9j rim on the rear of the vantage Potenza sport …I know on my previous thread the Bridgestone budget tyre drew criticism…I must say with the 245/19 upfront with 9mm wheel spacer and the 305 on the *** the car looks good and drives well.
These tyres are IMO better than the PZero set up on Mustang

What is the tire/rim size. IMO it looks like the tire is bulging a bit too much at the rim. It may cause some unwanted sidewall flexing, although it certainly looks like it will protect the rim from curb rash..

FWIW I have 285 30 R20's on the rear of my Vantage with a 20mm spacer. The tires are almost flush with the rim.

Nice set up. Meteorite Silver, right?

Rim is standard 9j with a 305 3 19 fitted, it does bulge a bit as you say will protect the rim on a curb, running them a little harder as these are runflat so I will really have to push it hard to feel sidewall flex

I did not want to change the mags from OEM, as I still enjoy them and mine came with 19 I’m unsure if I like the newer two tone mags on the older vantage
