Wheel Offsets

[10splaya22]

I posted a picture of the inside of one of the validation wheels here:

Orignially posted somewhere on this site or on SVT Performance.

The sticker info looks like:
19x11.5J +56

I guess that would be the "R" rear wheel?

I found it on SVTP. That validation wheel is a rear 19x11.5

That still does not compute. The 1/2" difference between the CF and AL wheels should only be 5-7mm difference in the offsets. It's possible the mount for the CF wheels takes up an inch, 25mm, which might explain the difference but I'm pretty sure it's built into the wheel.

Front alloy 10.5 x 19 25P offset

Front Carbon wheel 11 x 19 56P

If the mount or spacer is part of the wheel then it would be included in the offset measurement.If the spacer is mounted on the hub it is not part of the measurement.

What about the rear 11 inch wheels?

He only has a front 10.5 wheel but I might have found a contact who can get me the proper offsets from Ford.

The mount should be included because the rear offsets are consistent with other wheels. Your front numbers are not. Whatever it is those offsets are either not correct, my bet, or not apples to apples. Regardless nobody should be ordering wheels with those numbers until this has been confirmed. I'm also planning on ordering wheels, maybe Finspeed, and would like to know the correct offsets for the R wheels.

I will share them once I get the proper confirmed ones.As I was told yesterday that the front dimensions of the bodywork are different from other S550's on the GT350 so expect the wheel dimensions will be different on the front. A more negative offset is to be expected with a larger brake package also and the fact that the bodywork is about 2 inches wider sort of confirms this.

You posted the two offsets for the TWO GT350 wheels not a GT wheel. We all know the front end is different but it's not different between a GT350 TP to a GT350R. If the R wheel is only 12 mm wider the offset can't be 26mm tucked in more.

The "R" wheel studs are longer than the non "R" front and back. As per FoMoCo. So this will need to be taken into consideration when purchasing aftermarket wheels.

One is a front @ 10.5 30P & the other is a rear @ 11.5 56P.I can see that in the realm of possibility.

Here a couple of pictures of my M4 with 10 x 19 @25P and 11 x 19 @37P which fit perfectly for clearance & coverage with 275 & 295 AD08's.I want to do a similar type setup for the GT350.

Damn that's hot. How do you like it?

Best car that I have had for an everyday car as I commute about 150 kms a day.Works well on the track right out of the box and is quite quick but the stock brakes are an issue even with race pads on fast tracks like Watkins Glen that require a lot of hard high speed braking.It will likely stay around as my daily driver when the GT350 comes which will be my track car.

I don't think taht much stagger is needed with the GT350.. 19x11 or 19x11.5 square setup with 315s all around

We will need to see what the balance is like before committing to a square setup.I used to run a square setup on my E92 M3's which made the handling very neutral but the M4 needs a bigger rear tire due to the torque that it has compared to the earlier cars. It is still easy to light up the rear tires on 3rd gear exits.

Has anyone determined if an 18" wheel would work on the GT350? I would like to run a 18 x 10.5 squared set up on the car for track days.

I doubt an 18" will work.I ran 380MM Stoptechs on my M3 and I only had about 3mm clearance to the barrel of the 18" Apex wheels that I ran.My M4 also has 380 MM brakes from the factory & most of 18's on the market do not clear the caliper which is a 4 piston Brembo.The GT350 has 394 MM rotors & a 6 piston caliper so I doubt 18's will work.
