Sorry to hijack but what is the widest tire on the M350 19x10 and 19x11 without rubbing. Rim looks good and light. hard to beat for the price!
We have seen guys go up to a 285 front and 345 on the rear with the Nitto Invo tires.

Because of the m350 offsets widest I recommend is a 285/325 application


Now if you wanted a mean setup we'll we just finished a vs forged application using a 305/345 application.

Tire rack has some Motegi Traklites that are lightweight and competitively priced. I went from steel wheels to those on a previous car (20lbs to 9.5lbs) and saw a 10% MPG improvement!
...wonder if they'd fit over my PP Brembos...

Good morning, steel to aluminum will make mountains of difference.

The Motegi Tracklites are available in the 18x8 45mm and 18x9 35mm offset. As it looks now, unfortunately the wheels are not showing that they will clear your larger PP brakes. We will double check with the manufacturer to confirm.

In looking at very few wheels that clear the Brembo brake in the front in the 18" diameter, yo would need what is a high disk barrel to provide the largest inner diameter to clear diameter. The design of how the

Hope that help :cheers:

Actually their 18s are super affordable brotha, were one of the top forgestar s550 dealers out there. Since we know the application and vehicle we have them cut to our specs

Tried your website. Couldn't get it to work for 2015 Mustang. Can I get a price on the Apex 18x9 and 18x10 rims?
