18" Wheel Setups?

[Trying2GetRich]

Some might say running 18's on a S550+ Mustang is blasphemy but if y'all could, please feel free to post pictures of your Mustang if you're running an 18 inch wheel setup or know of someone who does... or even post some threads down below, OEM or Aftermarket...would really appreciate the responses for inspiration... ;)

What do you exactly want to know ? It's not a rocket science, nor some sort of blasphemy nonsense. 18" wheels with tall tire were OEM on some of the base trims if I recall correctly, more of an issue is running 18" with Brembo brakes in front.

I have two sets of Apex 11" wide ET52 18" diameter wheels and they work perfectly fine, only thing to be aware of is gearing change with low profile / short tire.

Most people run 18" wheels because they bought a base car with it or have good reason for it (like me), typically related to motorsports of some sort.

I mean yeah it shouldn’t be blasphemy for real car enthusiasts to understand and acknowledge that cars can have different wheel sizes, I just worded it like that mostly because when you ask an average mustang owner what wheel size they’d prefer the majority will say: “20’s” some maybe 19’s but when you bring up 18’s they look at you like it’s taboo or something lol, they’ll think that or either they’ll think you’re just stock and got no interest in what’s popular among said topic…. I probably just should’ve been blunt and asked for a gallery of Mustangs running 18’s somewhere in that post lol

18’s all around.

The ride is so much better on 18's and my Yokohama's lasted 55K miles

OP there are a bunch of options for 18 inch setups.
If you wanted to stay OEM, any of the classic 6 generation rims will work - please be mindful that if you have a GT premium with the Brembo 6 piston brakes, then you will need a 19+ inch rims for proper clearance.

OEM 18 inch rim options over the years:

The apex 18’s will fit over PP1 brembos.

No, he will not. There are 18" wheels that do work with Brembo's, i literally posted 3 posts above that I have two sets of them (and there used to be more options than just Apex).

My 2015 EB with the optional 18's. Always loved these wheels.

18s because motorsports. These are 11" fronts and 12" rears with 315/30 tires.

My 2019 came with 18s. FYI, the base EB came with 17s and a 55 tire. 18 " wheels come with a 50 series tire.

I meant OEM only 18 inch rims won't fit.. Of course there are aftermarket 18s that will fit.

I went with 18" wheels for more sidewall (bad roads here).
