Yes.

EB PP brakes are the same as the base GT, which comes standard with your choice of 18-inch wheels.

Not an issue.

It sits very nice. We made this fitment specifically for the hardcore track guys and race teams. It does need either Cortex Coil overs up front (or similar) that relocate inboard farther, or longer studs and an approx 12mm spacer. Again, this is in reference for the front. the rear is plug and play.

Here are a couple pics to show the rear fitment. This is with a 295/40 18 Nitto...


BMR can we get a few more shots with the whole car. Maybe some angled shots and definitely a side shot with the 18's

New Guy here. Looking into some 18's found some 18x9.5 30mm offset. Would they be too aggressive?

I run 18x9.5et34 wheels with 275/40r18 tires as a square setup and I think they fit the car perfectly. 18x10et38 would only be about 1/10 inch wider so you should be fine. I wouldn't go any more aggressive on stock suspension though.

Video of my 18s in action!

I't would be cool to see some pics from all angles. Really interested by that setup.

I have some Conti DWS tires that I want to use for my winter setup. These were my winter tires on my ST.

Will 235/40R 18 tires pose a problem? I realize they will not be as tall as my stock 50th Anniversary wheel/tires so speedo readings will be off. Is it too far from stock height? About 1.6 inches shorter.

Also will have to get new rims to fit the Mustang. Any suggested widths for those tires? 8" or 8.5" I suppose?

Here is a shot of our 18x10 FF15 on our Brembo display at Mustang Week. Again, this is the 380MM 6POT brakes. This particular set up is from a 2014 GT500.

SOOO glad i never listen anyone but myself. Lol

275 40 17s on 17x10.5 et 27 fit PERFECT with a 1.5 or lower drop all around. No additional camber needed either.
DO you have a photo? Which wheels?

I went ahead and ordered the 18x9.5 front and 18x10 rear in the Enkei RPF1.



Ive always wanted a set of these wheels and the weight savings should be pretty damn good even over the stock PP 19s.
Very interested to see this on the car!

Probably going to get 18 x 9.5 squared set up. Would there be any fitment issues?
