19x11 305/30 Squared Lowered(Pictures Included)

[thegray5.0]

Hello everybody, I just picked up a set of 19x11 +50 offset SVE SP2 wheels for all 4 corners and Falken Azenis FK510's 305/30. I also ordered extended studs and slip on 25 mm spacers and I already have camber plates in the front along with rear camber arms. I am also lowered on Eibach Sportlines, I plan to have everything on within the next week and I will post pictures here. For anyone else running a similar setup thats lowered, please provide pictures and tell of your experience with the setup and if you experienced any rubbing from being too low, worst comes to worst I will just swap back to stock springs until I find a new way to stance the car properly. Pictures will be up within the week after I have it all situated. Thank you.

UPDATE : Hello good morning everyone, I had the extended studs installed, tires mounted onto the wheels, and alignment done by Wednesday so I have had the setup for a few days now and will say it was a huge improvement from my previous 20x10 +38 285/35 square setup! The car feels like it is on rails now and is very confidence inspiring. It doesn't rub at all even when the wheel is fully turned and the ride quality is more tolerable compared to being on 20's previously. For the alignment I am running -3 degrees of camber up front and -2 in the rear and it definitely woke the car up in terms of handling and overall grip along with the new wheel and tire package. As time goes on I'll continue to update this thread on longevity of tires, any changes etc. Overall so far I recommend the setup if you're looking for a great improvement of handling and grip on your Mustang and don't mind wearing down the inners of your tire a little quicker as it is pretty aggressive in terms of camber for a street car.

I have the same wheel set up with spacers on the front. My car has the ford performance track suspension I think it’s lowered about an inch. No rubbing everything fits, down fall is the front tires stick out a tad and the sticky kumho tires I run like to kick up road debris. Hopefully the continental tires I ordered won’t be as bad about kicking up crap from the road.

You may get a little rubbing on the inside fender liner at full lock. Maybe not. I often run a little wider tires that 305, but I think this set is a 305.

Camber is how you get the tops of the tires tucked under the fenders.

Wow that looks really good for an inch drop, I feel like the tires sticking out slightly make it look really aggressive. I'm hoping my Falken's don't kick up too much as well haha

I have Steeda camber plates, and I plan on enlarging the strut tower openings. How much negative camber do you run?

I’m currently trying to be about 3.2-3.4 but you can get by with a little less if its a street car and you want to tame down the edgy highway manners a bit. I like it because its great for the twisties.

Yes I definitely want to run a little more "conservative" camber in the -2 to -3 range just because the car is still a daily, but the car sees the canyons every week so I would love to still have a good middle ground for handling and tire wear.

I'm -2.5* on the front and -2*, I think, on the rear. Fronts have some poke but akin to a PP2 (aka not egregious).

Hello I just updated the thread and included pictures, I was able to max out to -3.1 degrees on the front wheels but just had my alignment tech set them to -3.0 just because I didn't want any issues with my struts hitting tops banging against the tower or anything(if thats even a possibility). But -3 degrees of camber for the fronts helped ensure that my tires were tucked underneath the fender and they don't poke past the top of the fender or rub at all

This thread came at the perfect time. I have a set of 19x11 et24 for the front & 19x11.5 et52 for the rear.

I'm planning on running 285/35 & 305/35. I was originally not going to use camber plates but it seems as if it will be a necessity.

I know Apex Mustang Wheel Fitment Guide provides pretty good information on what setups you can run, from the looks of it with a 305 up front you would need to run negative camber, but you say you plan on running a 285/35, I ran 285/35/20 squared on 20x10s before. I am not sure if it would require more negative camber for a 285/35/19 on a 19x11 honestly. Are you lowered?

Thanks for the guide, looks like I'll need to run in excess of -2° camber.

I'm looking to run either a 285/30 R19 or, ideally, a 285/35 R19 if I can get away with it.

I'm lowered on Steeda minimum drop springs which are only a 1/2 inch drop all around.

Appreciate you clarifying, but already aware of what it’ll take lol. I knew what I was getting myself into when I picked em up. I’d have to cut the strut towers to get to 3* and not interested in doing that currently. Or running camber bolts.
This is current poke and I’m a fan.

Still looks pretty close to being flush. What camber plates are you running? I'm running Steeda camber plates and was able to achieve -3.1 fully maxed out

So I have found you don't NEED to run extra camber. I put 315/30R19 tires on 19x11, 52 offset wheels on my 2020 PP2. Used extended studs and 1" spacer on the front. Installed them and never touched my camber for over two years, so about 1 degree negative is what stock camber is, no issues what so ever. I do have a PP2 car, so maybe the different wheel well liners helped, but I was no where close to rubbing, so I think it would have been fine with standard liners. I did finally install camber plates and set the front to about negative 1.75. So in my experience, you don't need to add camber for fitment, but it certainly does help with handling.
