Calling All Corner Carving S550 Owners!
It's time to make room for new inventory coming this year, and we want to do that in a way that brings more Mustang owners into the APEX wheel family! For a few more weeks we have an "Inventory Clearance" on some select APEX Race Parts wheels. :headbonk:

18" Applications: The right fit for you?
Modern muscle isn't just about going fast in a straight line; let APEX wheels be a part of your Mustangs transformation into a race car, track day toy, or just to maximize its performance daily-driving. From the outset, we engineered the EC-7 to handle the high loads of extreme, real-world conditions, along with the punishment of race slicks (higher grip transfers more load to the wheel). Each EC-7 remains lightweight while built to handle the weight and high forces modern american iron can generate. Each is hub-centric, compatible with 14mm wheel studs and factory lug nuts. Fitment allows for AGGRESSIVE square tire choices front and rear, and works with or without camber-plates. 18" tires offer affordable, lightweight choices from many reputable brands making them ideal for track use in wider sizes, or winter use in narrower choices. We have 18x9, 9.5 and 10" sizes, all compatible with your S550*
* Note: the need for front wheel spacers will be determined on what tire size and type you plan to run, such as R compounds or slicks. EC-7 18x9.5" and 18x10" are one of the only 18" aftermarket wheels that clear factory Performance Pack optional brakes! GT350 will require the use of 19" wheels. Consult with an APEX fitment expert with any additional questions anytime.

Here are some pictures for you guys! :cheers:
Thanks once again, Josh who works at Trinity Autosport in Anaheim, CA for being a cool dude and switching things up from a BMW to a :ford:
Josh's car is on 285/35-18 Hankook RS-3 tires. Directly bolted on to his '15 GT PP. Some of you may have seen this fitment before. This is a meaty dual-use fitment on our 18x10s front and rear. Ideal for someone who wants a set for track or autocross; its also growing in popularity for mixed street & track use since its a cheap tire size thats meaty, and give you an acceleration advantage through shorter gearing.
- This actually has a 2.48% reduction in overall height vs. 275/40-19. Josh is a performance tech and track enthusiast, with a background in race BMWs and American Iron series mustangs. He chose this setup for better acceleration, and lowering the car without altering the suspension geometry, he will also take advantage of the better acceleration (for free). Josh is planning to add a JRZ coilover kit soon! Worth noting is that with the change to the gearing, at 60mph the speedometer will read closer to 64 or 65 MPH with this size.
To reiterate, if you didn't want to change gearing through tire size, a 265/45-18 or 295/40-18 is nearly identical to OEM. :cheers:
*We like to make a note, some brands of 285/30-18s could rub (though we haven't found one yet, R compounds are likely to, for example. If you want to run R compounds go for 305/35-18). You should check strut clearance and use a small spacers on the front axle if you require more strut clearance. You would only add spacers to the front, rear has plenty of clearance.
