There's a dude on here who snagged a set a few months back...they fit perfect. Actually more flush with front fenders than on the GT350 itself thanks to the not-flared standard GT fenders.
SSR definitely has proper brake clearance in mind for just this type of car, the rear would be the least of my concerns in "x factor" clearance.
Personally, fitting a few SSR wheel type setups in my day I would do this for my own ride -
front:
concave 20x10 78mm NR +31 offset
rear:
super concave...
It's actually 63 HP and 43 TQ at the top end where the stocker is falling off... that's a much better ROI... but I just have to laugh at anyone talking Return On Investment and cars together. Mainstream cars in general are not an investment, except for the very small percentage of niche stuff...
Yeah necking down that late in the exhaust should be fine for flow and output, the gasses are already cooling and reducing pipe size at that point will only keep velocity up... going larger would only slow the exhaust down.
this option was mentioned in there too for $1k

Nice setup!
I understand the back being shorter, but 255/40r19 should be same rolling diameter as 285/35r19...was that difference with going from one manufacturer to another?
These are easy plug jobs... grab yourself a $4 kit with the glue, tools, and plugs from any local auto store, walmart, amazon, etc. and have it on hand in the glove box.
Those ford techs just wanted to sell a tire, that's BS...even tirerack and discounttiredirect with their road hazzard programs...
You can actually heat the stuff with the hair dryer or heat gun and immediately scrap it of with a plastic scraper or finger nail... the heat goos it up nice for removal, but by all means windex or googone any residue
used tires + shipping in any situation is a $$ wasting idea... too many shipped for free brand new cheap tire choices out there. You are talking about putting questionable tires on a 3600+ pound $30k-40k worth of performance vehicle... so basically putting everyone else around you on the road...
Looks like when you order their higher end wheels there are choices to get the multi-pieces in forged...

20x9 F 20x10 R for over $4k on the set... definitely confusing, and a whole different price level compared to their similar cast...
Shoot, just keep your regular model and order up a set of the R wheels+tires for track days... BAM best of both worlds, and still under the dollar amount.
Both...had my own performance shop for a while. Started with mk3 in early 90s, had an FD rx7 in between, got a mk4 in 98 that I sold a decade later(single turbo k27, etc), lasted a few months before getting another mk4, had an m3 4dr overlapping as dd along with the supras, then got an e92 m3...
On yellow, definitely the black wheels!
not to take away from the Advantis but another good second place choice might be the enkei on all fours in 19x9.5 at only 23 lbs... don't think any spacers would be needed at all.
awesome posts as usual RB!
That is cool that DSS changed the design of the Mustang shafts to mimic the last gen Supra... those diffs are way easy to swap out thanks to that very feature. Although dropping the tank was never needed on them. Shoot, in pinch I swapped one out in the driveway at...
agree with a big NO to caliper covers... didn't even know people would consider putting that junk on real 4 or 6 piston calipers.
Just to correct the "rice" comments though... I've seen way more of the big3 produced vehicles rolling around with the awesome 6 pot pretender caliper covers on...
