The car was in perfect alignment before, unless something broke (which it didn’t) there is no reason unbolting old wheels and putting on new ones would cause something to go out of alignment. I am running MPS a/s 4 which might just tram line.
Just to clarify: you say it was in perfect alignment because you had it checked VERY recently OR because it drove fine?

Well now that you mention that, I had my alignment done ~4K miles ago. Maybe because the wider tires up front are more sensitive if my alignment was slightly off I’ll notice it now. But the steering was dead perfect and the car tracked right down the middle. I’m going to Goodyear to have a free check just to be sure though!

Just got the alignment checked and everything is green! And honestly it stayed pretty dang close to 0.00 on a lot of things. The tech there said your steering wheel just becomes more sensitive with wider tires up front. Glad the alignment is still good! It could also be that the all season tires I have just tramline more than others. :like:

I went Project 6GR Tens. Currently looking into getting a set of Apex VS5RS in 18 in Motorsport Gold. My 19x10 and 19x11 setup is within a few ounces of the 18x8 base GT setup per wheel

Hey this is Junior from N4SM/P6GR. The rotational weight difference is definitely noticeable. Before I went with 6GR on my car I had some MMD 34lbs 20" wheels. When I made the switch you could definitely feel how much lighter the car felt. This is my car currently on the 6GR Ten Spokes in Brushed Aluminum.

Only thing stopping me from getting some lighter wheels is the fact that there just aren’t any to choose from in Mach 1 handling package widths and offsets.

I don't know why the aftermarket isn't making wheels in a 19X10.5 ET24. With all the GT350s, PP2 and Mach1s out there not to mention the amount of regular Mustangs would jump on this size in a lighter format.

I’ve got 20x10.5 +24 wheels on the front of my Mach 1 that are lighter than than factory.

Doesn't MMR custom make them to the customer's specs?

I think you will have to go custom.

Apex makes an 19x11 ET26, which is very close. Look into those maybe.
