That's why my Steeda wheels have +37 offset. It's perfect. 😀
I'm aware many use up to 5 mm slip-on spacers to fine tune the front fitment. The only thing I didn't know was with +40 offset the spacers might be needed to ensure strut clearance rather than a purely a cosmetic adjustment.
A Mach 1 has coolers for the transmission and differential that the GT lacks. And with the handling package it performs closer to a GT350 on the track than a PP1 GT.
I had the same one from coyotebadgeshop. It was fine until I wiped it with detail spray. It turned the white yellow like yours. Otherwise it stayed in good shape for 3 years. No peeling or chips, etc.

I'm 63 and enjoy tearing around on twisty roads in my S550 and will likely do a track day or two in the near future. However, I sometimes think ahead to when I'm a little older and I would love a nice S197 GT500 for car shows.

You could go to the mustang7g.com site and ask there for confirmation.
Yes, RTR Tech 7 and Tech 5s are popular choices. I would go with 275/40. The 275/35s are smaller diameter than stock and will look small and increase wheel gap.
1. 2019 Mustang GT currently running General GMAX RS in front and Continental ECS 02 in the rear.
2. I chose the GMAX RS because of the price, good reviews, and a previous positive experience with the GMAX AS-05 on another vehicle.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
I replaced the rear pair of GMAX RS with the...
