Ferrada Wheels on S550

[Babar]

Hello Members,

Hope everyone enjoyed Christmas and New years.

I was Wondering if we have a member who has put a set of Ferrada wheels on their Mustang.
My question is around given the Aggressive Offset was there any Modification required.

wheel in question is Ferrada VF1 20X9 Front and 20X10.5 Rear or 20X11.

Much Appreciated.

Hey hope your well allow me to help you out.


So depending on the setup of the width you go with it would be from standard to aggressive


The 20x9/10.5 works standard the rear offset is a tad lower then usual so widest tire sizing we do is a 295

The 10.5 square I have done also and tires can be done with 275/295 lowered or stock. If it's lowered it just needs camber adjustment


10.5/11.5 is the aggressive setup and needs adjustment and stretch to make it work

With the 10.5/11.5 set up on bags, do you know what the camber set up is?

Also i've read there are issues with the centre cap not fitting because of the dust cap.

Any info is appreciated.

2 of my buddies from the GTFO Squad rock that setup.

Because the grease cap is tall as hell and the concavity is deep as the pits of hell on the wheels, it doesnt allow for the caps to sit on the cars, so thats the downside of the setup.

Now if your on air, your ride will camber itself when you air out, its not a static setup to have it set at a certain camber spec, it airs up it goes positive, it airs down it goes negative.

Wish I would have known this before I ordered the wheels. Do you know of a modification or way to get the caps to fit??

youd have to try and take that cap off hub and try that way.

Ooooh really.... just remove the dust cap, that cant be good for the car.

Do you know how far the dust cap sticks out? Is there a way to modify the cap?

Who are the 2 in GTFO that run this?? I know Alex is one.

Alex and Nick are the 2 guys. Ya its not but they stick out a good bit like a inch or so more.

Hey Paul im running this exact setup too,i knew u said the suspension would need some adjustments,but did not know the center cap would not fit?? Has their been a fix for this issue as it would not look good running with no center caps.Can they be tapped in a bit to let the caps fit.

I toom my rear rear off tonight to look at the dust cap,and the wheel bearing on these cars are like most modern cars as in the wheel bearing is sealed.Im sure the cap adds extra protection but with little as i drive my car im not going to sweat the dust cap.The bearing itself has a lip seal that protects it from water and dirt,and also the way the axle nut sits against the hub/bearing not much could get through.

Hey brotha in your case the offset is a ET 25 if not mistaken we are solid, its only the Ferrada wheels that are a ET 28 that need to have the grease cap either hammered in a tad and or a small 3 mm spacer to have it fit on right.

I just see some nice looking.wheels. Is it the center cap on the wheel that is the issue?
