F-type specific 20" tire size opinions/insights request
@powerhouse Thanks for the write-up. What brand spacers did you go with?
Are spacers to make the OEM tires appear wider even on the radar for you? I’ve seen at least one owner who installed them and liked the outcome.

Another dirty secret about the tire industry is that tire measurements are not standardized across the industry!
For example:
Michelin PS 4S 295/30/20 has an actual measured width of 11.1" or 281mm
Michelin PS 4S 305/30/20 has an actual measured width of 11.2" or 284mm
Pirelli PZero 295/30/20 has an actual measured width of 10.1" or 256mm
Pirelli PZero 305/30/20 has an actual measured width of 10.8" or 274mm
Another consideration is that even though a specific tire size can be mounted on an approved rim, that does not mean better handling:
Using a Pirelli 305 (274MM) tire as a an example, it is rated to be mounted on a rim from 10.5-11.5 inches
- If mounted on a narrower rim (10.5" or 266mm), you'll have 8mm of shoulder roll when you corner (274mm-266mm)
- If mounted on a wider rim (11" or 280mm) you'll have 6 mm of shoulder roll when you corner (280mm-274mm)
