Hello,

I found this link on another forum.

It appears APEX is interested in making more Mustang wheels, including the option for 18x11s!

Fill out the survey, and be sure to select the 15-17 mustang option when prompted.

Yes please. I really want those wheels, but wanted a bit more in the rear than 10" wide.

This would be perfect for us. Better tire choices, lighter and stronger than most other wheels for racing

I would love some of these in factory size and offset for FStreet.

I filled out the survey, really want these for my track setup. Wish they would put the 18x10s for the Mustang back into production at the very least.

I like the ARC-8 design better than the EC-7, but according to a chart in their survey it looked lioke the ARC-8s won't fit with our big ol brake calipers.

Agreed, I have a set of 18x10s not and need at least 2 more sets, but they have been out for nearly 6 months now.

18x10.5 is likely the max for stock fenders and stock struts.
18x11 305/35 or 19x11 305/35 appears to be the breaking point where either struts or fenders must be modded.
Really think theyd hit a home run with some beefy higher load ramge street pothole capable wheels as well as track lightweights:
For stock S550:
18x10.5, 18x10, single offset square, intended for front spacer
17x?10 for drag racing
For modded track duty:
18x11, 18x?12, single offset square and spacer
19x11, 19x?12, single offset square and spacer


Anyone testing these wider than 18x10.5 yet?

[MENTION=9374]Sock[/MENTION] has been running 18x11 Forgestar's with 315's squared for over a year without issue.
[MENTION=7150]boardkat[/MENTION] is running 18x12 and 335 squared, but his do poke out from the front fenders.

There is a sweet spot but I don't think it's "known" yet. Even though I've read many times on this forum that "bigger is better", I've read elsewhere that it may not be the case. Plenty subjective too.

Even though my current track wheels are 18x9 265/45, I plan slowly going bigger and geeking out with sensors for cold hard data (which I'll share!). I'll be setting up the data acquisition this winter.
