2020 GT PP1 19" winter wheel options

[nustang]

went to order my MPS4AS a couple days ago, and the rears became unavailable.

So .... thinking of a wheel/tire pkg, and maybe even 18"s due to better availability,
Question is, will 18's fit the front? Anyone running 18's on a PP1?
I can assure 17's do not, as my last V6's winter pkg were def. too small to clear the rotors.

The wheel to rotor clearance is quite severe with 18s. I strongly recommend 19s to avoid that rocks and sand don’t cut the wheel barrel. Enkei PF01 and Apex wheels barely clear at 18 inches. Neither are cheap.

Rodger that, and had suspicion it was close as the 17 was a total no go.

19's it is.

Thanks!

The question is:

1) Put snowies on the OEM wheels and go big on a really nice set of summer wheels and tires?

or

2) Buy dedicated winter wheels and tires, and roll with what you have in the summertime.

Years ago I did #2 and ordered the least expensive 19” (go 19” for sure, not 18”) wheels Tirerack offered wrapped in Blizzaks:

In hind sight, and after selling my OEM PP wheels and Pirellis and scoring nice 20”ers, I would have saved effort by going with #2 from the get-go:

Either way, enjoy the snow in the ‘Stang. It’s good fun,
