It's official, the wheels don't fit. I jacked the car up this weekend and tried to get it on for a good half hour or so, hoping there was just a trick to getting it to fit since clearance on even the stock wheels is very close. I wasn't looking to damage the wheel or my caliper, I kept...

The only reason I didn't take pictures is because I had already left my mechanic's shop and had asked him to take the wheels and tires apart. He was headed home. I'd have to go back, have him take my wheel off again, and try to mount the wheel again. The previous rep had said to simply try...

And here I was hoping this would be easy to move on from.

Thanks for your input, ThreeFiveO. It looks like the MMD Axim have an offset of 35mm, whereas the wheels I got have a 30mm offset. You stated yours barely cleared the caliper. Now it makes sense. It seems I need to choose a wheel with an offset of at least 35mm. This has been enormously...

He states he's using an Axim MMD wheel. It's entirely different. It seems to have more clearance for the caliper. Clearly all 8.5" wheels aren't equal. I'm just not sure which measurement I need to look at to know if it will clear the caliper.

I bought a set of wheels from American Muscle to use as my winter setup. The website says they fit a 2016 GT350 (http://www.americanmuscle.com/charcoal-amr-19x85-2015.html) . I bought tires, had my mechanic mount, balance, and install the wheels and tires. I was with him when he was installing...

If you click "will this fit my Mustang" it says V6, GT, Ecoboost, GT350. When I called to tell them they still assured me it would fit. They clearly didn't, but I was open to the idea that I did something wrong. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt.

That was the annoying part. It actually does specifically say it fits 2016 GT350s. Now I'm not sure what to believe on any website. I'm not even sure what measurement I need to ensure is the one I need to confirm. How can I ensure the wheel clears the caliper besides websites claiming the wheel...

Hi all, I picked up my GT350 on Sunday and ordered some winter wheels and tires last week: http://www.americanmuscle.com/charcoal-amr-19x85-2015.html They're gorgeous, but when he went to put them on they wouldn't clear the caliper. I was there as he attempted to put them on and the caliper...

I just picked mine up yesterday. I put 125 miles on it in a few hours. I noticed exactly this. You really have to be in a different mindset when you drive this car. I'm not yet comfortable enough with the shift points so I'm not willing to go down too many gears at once, but I was spoiled by...

Thank you. It's an amazing ride and I can't wait to take it on the track.

I shopped around a bit at different dealers. I went to one in Hackensack, one in Paramus and both told me $15k over MSRP was the going rate. I refused. My uncle knows the owner of a dealership in Warwick and I agreed to $5k over. It wasn't the best shopping experience, but it certainly...

Thanks. Can't wait to fully break her in and do some HPDE.

Bergen County checking in. Just picked up my Magnetic GT350 this afternoon.

Hi all, I just picked up my car this afternoon. It was loads of fun to drive. I picked it up in NY State, but I live in Northern NJ. Specs below. GT350 - Tech Package 2016 G2116 Magnetic

You wouldn't be wrapping the whole cat. That would be catastrophic (no pun intended). The suggestion from Heat Shield Products was to put it on half of each cat to reflect away from the transmission. In fact, their product page says specifically not to wrap a catalytic converter fully.

I don't know if removing the cats requires any software modifications, but I do know that your car would (obviously) be much louder. Make sure you check with the track before going to ensure you don't exceed any decibel limits.

Hack, it sounds like you could be a guinea pig for the rest of us, unless somebody with a tech car is hitting the track sooner. My previous post has a couple of things that have been discussed as possible mitigation for the excess heat in the transmission. Those simple modifications could...

If somebody's willing to swap out the transmission before even taking the car on the track they have more money than sense. I, for one, will be tracking the car annually, preferably more often. There are other options out there and I think we just want to make people well aware of what those...

I'm due to pick up my '16 soon and I'm hoping we'll hear of some parts (preferably from FP) to rectify the situation. I'm okay with paying for them, I just want to be able to track my car. Some of the guys at work are looking to set up a track day this year and I'd love to join in without my...
