Hi. I am looking to run 275/40r19 squared on my white 2017 Mustang GT non-PP. The car has GT350 springs and ford track shocks. I will ship the wheels to colombia and will cost $320+ for the set so I am trying to set a budget here.

The idea is to run 275/40r19 to get 8mm more ride height and a little more sidewall for comfort and protect the wheels from the roads here. 9.5" or 10" wide. Not concerned about light weight wheels. I prefer to select wheels based on strength bc I don't want to wait 1 month for replacements. With that said, the OEM 19x8.5 has held up well in the 7 years and 43,000km.

I am thinking about getting the american muscle 19x10 et48 PP1 style wheels and square them. I know the OEM PP1 19x9.5 et53 fits on the front with a 5mm spacer. Using a calculator, the AM wheels will be 2mm closer to the strut. So I'm thinking 5+2=7mm spacer in the front. Maybe a 5mm will work? If I need longer studs then I may as well run a 1/2" spacer. Just checking if anybody has tried this.

I don't like spacers. Don't like an intermediate piece between wheels and studs.

For that reason this is what I have done:
4* 19 9,5" aftermarket wheels et35 with 4 * 275 40 r19 continental sport Contact 7. No spacers, no rubbing, stock height. Just picked Up my car from the tire shop today. Perfect stance for me. Could not be happier.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up going with the LMR MHP1 in 19x10 squared with 285/35r19 tires
