My test wheel is finished :) thx Jake at need 4 speed

Why so short on the tire? 30 seems really really short for 19".

When I bought my drop Springs I was told they were one inch but after I got them on it was just a little bit lower drop then I like I like a small Gap between the fender and the tire so by going with a 19 inch wheel instead of a 20 and a shorter sidewall I will gain the gap back without lifting the car any.

That's a really weird way of going about that, and you run risk of traction control and ABS issues. You should be at a 40 or 45 series tire on a 19", I'd be hesitant to even do 35 but even that would have been a better choice IMO. It might end up looking goofy too, but I guess we shall see!

I already posted a picture of a blue Mustang with the same size wheels and tires that I think it looks great but to each their own
And I'm not worried about the risk if it doesn't work out I'll do something else

any pictures of the wheel on the car...

You have us waiting lol.

Sorry about that guys I haven't got to see it myself I'm typically out of state for two or three weeks so it may be a little while before I make it home

Just a little update. I got my test wheel And the tire mounted and I'm rubbing just a little on the strut. I think a 5mm wheel spacer will fix it or a combination of the 5mm wheel spacer and a slight alignment adjustment. at full lock it rubs just a little on the plastic I shot a few pictures to show that. Jake at Need for Speed is sending me out a 3 and a 5mm spacer to see if that'll clear it. I don't want to go any more than a 5 mm. Worst case scenario I'll buy a set of coilovers to gain the space I need. I'm very happy that it does not stick out past the fender and I just love the way it looks. And that the tire looks square on the Wheel I really thought it would be pulled in at the bottom but it's not.

I bought this wheel as a test wheel to see how this would work on the front with the tires I wanted and if it worked also to have a spare tire so I put it on the rear to see how it would fit and it has miles of room everywhere it'll work great as a spare I used the floor jack under the tire to lift it up to the point where it would be sitting if it was sitting on the ground.

Looks great !!!! If you weren't aware.... the factory centercap will fit in your wheels.
Let Jake at N4S and myself know when you're ready for the other 3.

Thanks

Thank you. I'm actually going to need 4 more Wheels this is just my spare tire. And I think you're right I think the Factory center cap will look even nicer with the Mustang emblem. After I get the spacers or whatever it takes to make them fit properly then I'll finish out my order thank you all for all your help
