So I have an Oxford White Ecoboost Premium Performance Pack on order and am getting everything sorted beforehand.

I have settled on ForgeStar wheels in the Gloss Bronze Burst finish but have a few more decisions to make.

1. CF10 Vs. F14? Advantages/disadvantages to each? Im leaning towards the F14 as they seem to have a deeper concave.

2. 19" vs. 20". Spoke with Eric @ GetYourWheels.com and it seems the difference in weight was only 2lbs for going with 20"s. Any input on this guys?

3. (probably the biggest decision) - 20x10's all around square set up or 20x10s with 20x11s in the rear? Advantages of square vs staggered?

Anything else im not considering? I'm ready to place an order in the next few weeks because I know it may take a little while for them to custom make and powdercoat the wheels.

any help/input is greatly appreciated

*Also, any pics of white cars with bronzeburst rims would be awesome!

I may wait for you you to decide and check out pics.lol I was thinking about doing squared 20x10 bronze burst f14 on my Oxford white. That would be my recommendation.

2. I prefer the look of 20's on this body style vs. 19's. 19's still look awesome, so not knocking that size.

3. Squared setup you can rotate your tires. staggered you can't, so that is one cost justification for the squared setup.

I like the staggered look myself as I can run a wider tire in the rear.

20" staggered IMO its a good fitment unless you want to be able to rotate then the 20x10 is the way to go.

I agree with Todd. 20" wheels really look great on the S550.

I went with a square setup 20x10 +40 (285/35-20) not to be cheap, but because I think it looks better than staggered. And I wanted to dial out a little of the understeer from the factory.

However I would do 20x10 & 20x11 in the proper offsets with the right wheels. The Forgestars you can get with the proper offsets.

Pics here.

So it seems the argument can be made for staggered on the GT mustangs since the added weight of the coyote makes the car a little front heavy.

Which leads me to think that since the ecoboost is more balanced, the better handling choice for my particular mustang would be to go with the square set up, no?

If im wrong in this assumption, please let me know. Performance/handling takes higher priority for me than the savings from being able to rotate the tires, but it would be an added bonus if its the better choice performance wise.

But if it makes no difference, i prefer the look of the biggest rear wheel possible.

Help!

Ok. Thank you to everyone for your input.

VENDORS: PM me your best quote for a custom set of ForgeStar F14s. 20x10 fronts and 20x11 rear. BronzeBurst finish. Prices with and without rubber please!

Perfectly flush/fitment wise for a 15 Ecoboost with Performance Pack that will eventually be lowered as well.

20x9.5 F and 20x11 R with 275/35/20 and 315/35/20 respectively. Staggered looks so good. I got mine from GetYourWheels - delivered in 3 weeks!

I went 20" staggered 10" front 11" rear they fit barely but that is what I wanted. Leaving empty space just seems wrong. 285/35 front 315/35 rear Michelin tires. Last car I bought wheels twice this time I bought the best wheels first.
908ssp - no rubbing issues up front with the 285/35's? What wheel did you end up with?

Bronze burst will look sick on white, I almost went bronze burst and kind of regret it but still love my black. 19's vs 20's are all personal preference, most guys are doing 20's but I stuck with 19's, wasn't sure if 20's may be too big plus tires cost more! lol Now that I see them, I say go with 20's.

Staggered is the best way to go as well! Better aggressive look to them.
