Best Wheel Options for Mach 1

I’ll have to let you know when I get them put on. They should fit just like a GT PP my M1 has the same stock tire sizes.

I already had these wheels and I use them on the track. They are the Project 6GR’s, 11/11 1/2 and are 9 lbs lighter. They do stick out a bit up front but the fender molding helps.

Some of these look fantastic but they’re still BLACK. I would never buy a car with black wheels and put black right back on it., I guess i’m just old-school like my GT, EG which is my color deserves better. Now that it’s spring time I’m gonna be going out to take a look. I’ll let you know what I find. First things first though, the HP spoiler goes on and a couple of weeks.

Factory wheels are not bad for a stock wheel compared to some manufacturers (CFTP are bad ass) but they are a dime a dozen and kinda boring, imho.

19x11 SVE SP2’s on all 4 corners.

How does 19x11 fit on the front? Is there rubbing or did you trim some?

I have 19x11 on the front, +24 offset. No rubbing. 305/30/19 but I think a 315 would fit too.

No rubbing. I run the same 19x11’s front and rear with a 50MM offset. In order to do that I run a 25.4mm front spacer up front with ARP studs so efffectively a 25mm front offset. This is a super common setup on S550’s for track usage. I have 305’s but from my measurements I could clear most 315’s up front.

Not only are my fronts WIDER than factory HP size and offset, but they also stick out LESS and l can rotate them. WIN-WIN

I have to say, I know I started this thread about best Mach 1 wheels, and I’m still planning to replace them primarily because aftermarket are lighter.
But these OE wheels get a bad rap, they don’t look too too bad, I will miss the classic look

They’ve actually grown on me. They don’t look too bad with spacers. And they are wider than PP1 wheels front and rear. Although the same tire size this puts a bit of a stretch on the tires and makes them responsive. I just wish the std wheels and option Y spoke wheels were square. They do make a nice wheel for all seasons or non track tires.

Same, they’ve grown on me as well!

Although, I think I’ve decided to go with the “handling package” look, therefore either going to purchase the SVE M1HP wheels 10”/11” OR stick with Ford performance’s or 10.5”/11” fitment, therefore justifying putting the front fender flares on.

Has to be said, a lot of great options posted in this thread.

Looks awesome! That’s perfect. Do you feel the handling or drive is hindered by running the 305 on a 10” wheel? I’ve heard others complain that you give up other qualities by going too wide.

I doubt it. Feels pretty amazing to me! Maybe I’m just easily impressed. I do know I have waaay more people complementing the car in traffic since these new wheels and I can take turns way faster. I love the look and will be sad 3 months a year when I put the originals back on with Michelin all seasons
i was ready to put 295/30 on the front because of Michelin’s guidance but the discount tire database says 10” ok for 305/30. That‘s all I needed to hear since I didn’t want a large wheel gap.

It’s all about compromises. Bigger and lighter wheels, aftermarket lowering springs and a desire to avoid spacers.

I couldn’t agree more. I really like the look of these stock wheels and if they were available I’d gladly pay a custom wheel price for the exact same wheel, only substantially lighter.
