Advice Needed - Buying Wheels

[Kyotee]

We are looking to get new wheels and tires for our 2013 GT. Depending on how it looks after that, we will determine if we lower it at all.

Wondering your thoughts on wheel/tire size.

Staggered:
Backs: 20x11 50mm
Fronts: 20x9.5 35mm

Or

Squared:
20x10 37mm
Or
20x9.5 35mm

Would love your feedback from your experience.

How about a set of Shelby's, 20x9, 265/30-20, 20x10 295/30-20, for $1000? I'm NW of Milwaukee. The wheels are like new, tires about 1/3 worn. I like the look a lot but I've had them for a while and I'd like a change.

Those look nice. I almost got those. I just really needed 11 inch wide. But I think those look better than mine. Especially on a black car.

They look like Mach 1 or old school GT500 wheels... NICE!

You can run 10s with 42-45mm offset and 275s or 285s on all four corners if you want to be able to rotate your tires. The offsets you have listed are all a touch agressive and will poke a bit in the rear, possibly in the front as well if you're running factory camber specs.
If you like the staggered look, obviously that's fine but these cars already understeer so I personally recommend a square setup.

Edit: had a 2nd look and 9.5s with 35mm offset will probably be close to flush. The other offsets you listed for the 10s and 11s will be past flush and hanging outside the fenders.

Here are some pics of my 2007 Shelby with 20x11's w/50mm bs and 20x9.0's w/30mm bs. If I didn't have -2.75 camber, the fronts would poke.

07 with 20x9.5 +40 front (3mm spacer now to clear 6 pot brembos so I’m assuming more like +37mm. 255/35 front. 20x11 +50mm rear with 285/35 (will be going wider next time around).

Why the hell does this forum rotate pictures when they are inserted? It started after that last major update. It seems to be random. One of my pictures is correct. Three we're rotated 90 degrees.
