What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Pagey]

P51 101RF Gloss Black. 19x10 and 19x11. With Mich Pilot Sport 4S. 285/35/19 front and 325/30/19 rear. Love them!

Shit how is the poke on the rears? I have those exact wheels and can only just get 305/35s on the rear

Paul at PK Auto design in Cal suggested the size and it was a great fit. Apparently this is a common setup. The stock size actually looked a bit recessed with the 1" lowering springs. With the this setup, they look great and peak out just the right amount. I love it.

It's your aspect ratio.
The sidewall height of a tire is the section width times the aspect ratio. So your 305/35s have a sidewall height of 305 * .35 = 106.75mm.
The 325/30s have a sidewall height of 325 * .30 = 97.5mm.
So the radius of your tires is almost 3/8" greater than the 325/30s, putting them closer to the lip of the wheel well. The 325/30s poke out more, but there is more clearance to the lip of the wheel well.

Had the Roush tune removed and custom MAK Performance tune installed. Here's to better performance.

This is one my to buy list! Especially after the bath I gave her today. My knees are killing me!

I hear you....you wouldn't think it would be that taxing, but it really wears on you after a while...

 

[Lorne34]

All patched and cleaned up. So excited! No more licence plate bracket holes!

wow... love the color and shine on your ride. Makes me miss my DIB coupe.

Had an oil change done at 10k miles. While I was there I had them inspect and take pictures of the fabric top. The seam appears to be separating from the top along the drivers side door. Ford has agreed to replace the top. One of the pictures is of a normal portion of the stitching as a comparison, One of my concerns with the vert is how well the top will hold up.

Adjusted the interior gauge color and ambient lighting. The My Color feature is really an awesome bonus. I have been so busy and focused on other things that I never really thought about what color combination would work best. Settled on Blue and Red...

I just finished installing the Steeda jacking rails. Very simple installation.

Do you mind sharing the offsets? And did you need spacers for the front...

You car looks gorgeous, and love those wheels. I'm thinking of going the same route

Thanks

Isn’t the challenge the change in rolling diameter?

The stock size (295/40R19) = 28.3”
305/35R35 = 27.4” (-3.2%)
325/30R19 = 26.7” (-5.7%)

The recommendation is to stay within 3% change. More than Paul may be able to chime in

Actually last week, went out and did another track day to dial it all in. Probably the last of the season but was super stoked to knock off 5 seconds off my last lap time Still lots to learn though...
