[ChitownStang]

I'm running 285/35/19 square on my DD ...heres a few pics if this helps....before & after lowerd on Steeda minimum drop springs.

After being lowered

Thanks! Car looks great now!!
So there is a huge gap with the 285's .. What was it originally , 235's or PP setup?

285/35R19 with 0.5-1" drop really is the bees knees.

I think for stock 275/40R19 is really gonna fill it out better.

yeah, without lowering, 275 square is best. guess that 1/2" of radius is huge to the eye!

that gap is crazy on stock springs

Yeah it is…that’s why I went with Minimum drop…picked up a 1/2 -3/4 inch…perfect IMO …I also did the Steeda Pro-Active shocks /struts.

Cool, I'm not going to lower the Mach so I need to be careful with this wheel gap

Originally Pirelli 255s…car is a non PP with no magneride

Alright it’s official, I’ll go with this setup. Time to look at new rims.

275/40/19 with 19x10 (+35 offset)

Do these make a difference? 275/40ZR19/XL or 275/40ZR19

Also, am I going to need spacers and new studs?

The 'XL' means the tire is designed to handle extra load (weight). Not needed for a Mustang.

No spacers or new studs needed for the wheels you specified. SVE will include new tuner lug nuts, which are required with their wheels, but you won't miss the problematic OEM 2-piece nuts at all.

Just a visual comparison…new 285/35 on left, worn out 275/40on right.

I have 275/40/19 on 9.5 inch wheels.

Did you go for the full size spare in the boot ??

Have not done that yet.

You need to use foam or polystyrene to lift the boot carpet but it's worth it.I 've had to use the spare a couple of times and it saves using the foam, or using a get you home spare governed to 50 mph

I always run square setup. More neutral handling.

Has anyone ever considered going with a 20x10 wheel vs the 19x10 wheels?

For a daily driver what is the benefit from having the option to rotate the wheels? For twck car fine I can see it, save wearing the rears on a track day but a daily driver? Just curious

I mean its just best practice in general for maintaining your car especially for a daily. You don't want uneven wear on tires and rotating tires helps aid in preventing/identifying this issue.

It's a RWD car with 450+ hp, the rear tires wear faster than the fronts. So you can split the wear more evenly.
