Pre-2015 wheels on a 2015

[ColdShotxx]

I know its been asked before and I've searched and I am still coming up with a conflicting conclusion on whether pre-2015 wheels fit the 2015 mustang. I have always wanted to get a set of the 19" GT Track Pack / Brembo wheels. Would these fit my 2015? I know when determining this there are a few considerations:

Lug bolt pattern-
Overall wheel/tire height (odometer reading) - wheels come with 255/45/19. Will these work or do I need a new tire height to maintain 2015 height?
Wheel/tire width- seems not an issue. 2015 is much deeper
Offset- this seems to be the area of debate
Caliper clearance- this is also inconclusive, but looking at brembo wheels, they should be ok?
TPMS- preinstalled on older wheels, they might or might not work with 2015?

Anything else I am missing? Any experience or input on answering these would greatly be appriciated

2006 17 " BULLIT WHEELS FIT 2015?

just figured out my 2015 v6 has no spare tire. (bought the car 2 days ago) Before I remove a wheel and do a test fit ...wondering if anyone knows if a 2006 17 inch bullitt style rim with 235r55 tire will fit and serve as a spare? another issue is that I will need to see how well it fits in the trunk.

It works!

Well, one way to find out if it works, just do it....

I bought brand new Brembo Track Pack package wheels and Pirelli P Zero tires and they went on without a problem. Cleared the standard V6 brakes, no rubbing anywhere, used my 2015 lug nuts and I didn't train the tpms, yet, when I was out test driving it looked like they were getting a reading and no warnings, interesting- i'll play with that a bit more.

There is one guy on this forum and another guy on another mustang forum that posted similar results, so I just wanted to get one more successful data point out there.

I realize these wheels have been out for like 4 years and may not seem as awesome to some, but I've been out of the mustang game not really paying attention for the past 13 years so when I saw these wheels I thought the'd be great on a magnetic S550, and I think it turned out great. Heres a horrible picture, more to come tomorrow after I get some tint installed.

I think they look pretty good.

thanks for taking the initiative and just doing it. good news. I'll test fit my 06 rim and tire and use that as a spare for now while I further consider throwing down the cash for the factory spare.

Anyone know if the 19" wheels in Coldshotxx picture would work on a 2015 GT PP? And by work I suppose fit over calipers, offset, and fitting the PP tires on them?

This.

I'd really like to know if the staggered Boss 302S wheels would fit. I'd pull the trigger on a set if I knew they'd fit.

Based on boadkats thread here, it would work.

Just an update on tpms,
I was watching the tire pressure gauge on my way to work today, the pressure was fluctuating as I drove. +1,+2 psi as they warmed up and appear to be working just fine. Again, these are stock s197 tpms that i never trained. Just mounted the wheels and went.

Those look way better than the lousy black PP wheels....

I have the Velgens off my 2013 on my 15. Fit just fine

Can we get some different angles of that? Dead-on the side looks fantastic and I wish ANY of the factory wheels had that same finish - perfect for guard.

I just picked up a set of the 19" older style track pack wheels. Will I be able to reuse my lugnuts from 2015 on a 2015 with these wheels? Thought I read before issues resulting in sometimes you need to get diff lug nuts?

 

[Msteers]

Lug pattern is still 5x114.3. The threads on the studs are different.

[falcongtho3]

The bigger stud listed by CJs (14x1.5) is probably a good thing. It's a thread size that GM has used on trucks since 1988, Chrysler has used on 300s, modern Chargers and modern Challengers since their release and Ford has used on Super Duty trucks since mid-03, so it's not something very hard to find.

I'm looking for an inexpensive take off or knock off wheel for my '15 EB Stang Premium PP. Purpose is for a drag radial set up for the strip. I've found so far that 17" wheels are the smallest diameter to clear the brakes. Any suggestions for a take off or knock off 17" wheel that would fit a 275 DR? I almost don't care about looks.
