Ecoboost in DS autoX

[jpaulson]

I can run the 19×9 but not the 19x9.5 that comes on the rear. You are aloud + or - 1in in Dia and + or -7mm offset. The ecoboost has a 19x9 wheel option in the track pack I believe.

Only if you car is a Performance Package car......if not, the only way to add the 19x9 wheels would be to also add all of the other PP parts. You'd have to do a complete package conversion.

Not sure what all came on the PP but, I do have PP shocks and rear sway bar I'm installing tomorrow. I have another autoX next weekend so I'm gonna see if it helps the car any.

See my post #7 above. It sure looks like per the order guide Premium EB's had a stand alone 20x9 wheel option. Therefore they can run 19x9's using the 20x9 offsets.

However, in perusing the online parts site over the years I got the impression that at least with GT's factory ordered cars with 20's have some parts which are "different" from the smaller wheel cars which might be "nice to have". The online parts site didn't seem to give enough info to be sure and it wasn't relevant to me anyway.

Ha. Sorry about that. I jumped to a conclusion when I saw OP mention he could run them because they "came on a track pack or something"

Carry on....

UPDATE!! I PULLED the trigger on a set of 245 40 r18 Rival S. Got them on EBay for 600$ shipped!! Couldn't pass up the deal. Also today I install the ford performance shocks and rear sway bar! The short ride I took home from my in-laws didn't really give me chance to test it out but it does ride just a little more stiff. I also noticed the nose of the car wasn't diving like it usually does. Got a autoX coming up Sunday so I will post some results after it. Hopefully the tires get here in time!!
