See below for what I found on tire rack about the tire below freezing. I’m also in Indiana and I would not run PS4S year round, but I daily the car. I use A/S once the lows are consistently sub 40, so somewhere in October/November depending on the weather trends. In general the tire should be...
I will be curious to hear your opinions on these, as I’m also in Indy. I’m riding out the last tread on my factory (and mostly junk) pirelli A/S tires. I’m working remotely indefinitely so it was an easy choice for now, and was helped by my next tire choice being unavailable in the factory size...
The car in nearly all trim levels is under damped and under tired from the factory. It’s a comfortable, fun, sporty feeling vehicle, but not a sports car, by design - it’s really a grand tourer at heart and on the cheap. This includes a healthy amount of understeer, which is safe for a mass...
Adding those K braces to my non PP GT is still one of the most noticeable mods I have done. Eliminates a lot of cowl area creaks as well. And it’s pretty cheap/easy.
Regarding the sway bar, note that many of the adjustable aftermarket units are stiffer in their Soft position than even the...
There are a few people here running a 295/35 on 11inch rears in order to use Continental ECS or Michelin PS4S. 27.1 OD. Those tires don’t have a 305/35 option. I think @Dave2013M3
I’m fairly certain I’ve seen 325/30 used with SVE 11inch rears by members here. @LSchicago is one with these...
LMR’s wheels are a strong value at $1000, they’re a wild deal if you get them during Black Friday sales for $600. Their site says new deal will be added daily, I take that to mean up to Black Friday/Cyber Monday. None of the wheels most people on here want are currently on sale, looks like we’ll...
They fit in my 2018... with a ton of effort. Greased them ALOT and used the supplied bolt plus patience. I did not use an impact. Yes they aren’t needed if you’ll never drop the subframe again but I have future plans and it was worth the pita.
19x10 +35 or +40 offset is a common square setup with 285/35. There should be many aftermarket wheels to choose from. SVE wheels fit both S197 and S550 Mustangs for example.
Can’t say if they will fit PP1 with spacers, but they certainly won’t fit without them. M-2300-Y brake kit makes that obvious. Unsure if the PP2 barrels have more clearance.
You could also look for some cheap (relatively) aftermarket wheels which have gt350 versions; SVE being an obvious place...
For those interested in alternatives, here’s more reading on the “diy” kit route.

Agreed on lowering springs not being an issue. I use a 25mm spacer for my OEM 8.5 inch wheels and I’m not remotely close to fender with a .75 front drop
PP cars have the flap for easy access to the oil filter, since the belly pan is different than base GTs. Base cars do not have a flap and I think you need to pull the pan to get to the filter. I would think this will fit regardless, just more of a pain for base GTs to use it. Is that what you’re...
Multiple options discussed here, including the GS3. Also feedback on track vs autoX. Consensus opinion I took from it is GS3 for track, given performance, wear rate, and cost.
