18 " wheels on Performance Package

[dgc333]

I did a search and didn't find anything so I am through in out the question.

Just purchased a EcoBoost Premium with the performance package. Will 17" or 18" wheels fit over the larger brakes in the PP?

I need to gets some winter tires.

I got the sport f10 18 rims from tire rack and they fit. My 96 cobra 17 inch rims didn't fit, however another member here has some race star (I think) 17 inch rims that do fit. Your biggest limiting factor is the measurement from the mating surface of the rim/rotor, to the spokes on the rim. I believe you need 1 and 3/4 inches to clear.

I have the SVE 18 x 9 wheels on my performance package and they fit just fine. Went with 275/35/18 all around. They look a little small and I think I should have went with a larger sidewall.

I think any 18 that could fit the 11-14 Brembo package cars should be able to fit the Ecoboost Performance package or the Base GT. You just have to get different Lug nuts.

Could you post pics please. I'm thinking of their 18x9/10 for a staggered setup. I want a 40 sidewall up front and 35 in the rear if I can with the widest tires possible.

Thanks, My son's tire and service center sells the TireRack Sport Edition wheels so I will likely go with the A7 in 18" painted black.

I picked up a package from TireRack with cheapo 18" wheels and snow tires.

This is it with the SVE Rims. I also have the Steeda lowering springs installed.
If you want a better side shot just tell me and I can run out and take the photo.

Also forgot this picture. I took a side shot to show if the tires are sticking out or how flush they are.

Thanks for the pictures. TireRack has never steered me wrong so I will get 18's they say fit the Ecoboost Performance Package through my son (about 15% off and no shipping) and go with the stock 235/50-18 tire size.

17's also will clear the brakes.

You have the performance package with the bigger brakes?

This is perfect! I prefer the 17" wheels! This will be the very first change I'll make when I get my Eco with the PP!

At that point in time, I'll submit a post for anyone who might be interested in the 19" wheels & tires.

I am not sure "every" set of 17's are going to clear, but all of the offerings from Race Star do.
