Will they fit up front or will a spacer be needed?

Thinking about the AMR Track Pack Rep Wheels. Most I do is some spirited back roads and a track day couple times a year. Don't need to drop a ton on wheels and love this type of look.

Need a 5 mm spacer and even with that it'll be tight, but will clear.

I would go with the SVE 350 wheels.

I've thought about those as well. Not sure I'm sold on the look 100%.

Debating.... :headbonk:

I just picked up some P51 101rf wheels (similar to above wheel design), 19x10 square with 285/35-19 tires (Firestone super wide ovals) setup and I am really impressed with the fitment and no spacers being required, I came from the project6grs and I was also amazed by the weight saving per wheel. if you would like to see the fitment of the wheels with the performance pack brakes. check out my build post or my instagram @S550 _Tim, if your interested in a set shoot [email protected] an email.

According to American Muscle, the world will end in you put a wider than 8.5" wheel in the front of a Mustang. This why they always spec 8.5" front wheels for their Mustang specific wheels.

Yeah. I think that has more to do with the wheel having a super high offset.

I've been rocking the 10inch square set up for a while now and hit plenty of canyons and did a track day. I couldn't even tell the difference and felt like the was better planted so I'm not sure what American muscle was referring too

As others have mentioned, with an ET48 you would need to run spacers up front for proper strut clearance. The spacer thickness required would depend on your tire brand/size and the type of suspension setup you are running as not all are created equal. You would need something between 5mm to 10mm.

Ideally you would want to go with something closer to an ET40 if you want a spacerless fitment. Our EC-7 19x10" ET40 Mustang wheel has worked very well with 275 or 285 tires.

So choose the right offset. They are Mustang replica wheels, to fit a Mustang. The rest of the world has figured out the right offset to work front and rear on a Mustang.

Wise up AM, I am NEVER going to buy narrower than stock wheels. I probably won't buy narrower than 10" wheels for the Mustang. I won't run spacers just because you can't be bothered to make them in the right offset.

:cheers:

Why the front isn't at least 9" is a mystery to me, and why they don't capitalize on a 10" size that can be run front and rear is also a mystery.

Tell that to Rovos, too. 8.5" front wheels on their staggered setups... PFFFF. :frusty:

Yup with so may wheels available with proper specs why deal with a modification when is not needed unless price is a major concern then why not right?,
either way Im sure you already know what we offer.
for fronts stick with 19x9.5-19x10.5 and rears 10 - 11.5 max
off sets rears anywhere from 40-55et your god depending on wheel width
fronts 25et -40et your good as well

I have a couple sets of the MMD Sinn wheels 19x10 (i think they are all ET48) Picked them up for $400/set of 4! I run about a 5mm spacer up front to clear the strut. But they work fine. They are just really heavy!
