Ford Performance released its PP2 replica wheels

[Alponcho]

Interested in a set of the PP2 replicas for a GT premium used as a daily driver. Considering 9.5" in the front with 265/40, and 11.0" in the rear with 305/35--probably PSSS, so front and rears would all be 27.4". Would this work OK without spacers, rubbing, or any other issues? 10's in the rear would be fine but I want to avoid tire bulge with 305.

That should fit without issue. The 265/40 up front is barely larger than the stock 255/40 tire and the backspacing on the replica 9.5 should have even slightly more clearance than the OEM wheels. On the back there is plenty of space to run the 11” wheel with those tires.

However by going with those tires you are going to have the “look” of a square setup without having the square setup. Seems like you would be better off just going square.

Has anyone put these wheels side by side with OEM PP2 wheels?

Is the set designed with PP2 dimensions identical aside from the black (rather than nickel) finish?

Based on concurrently running discussions, I’m tempted to go for the PP2 set for my non PP2 car since they will fit with little/no modification. The fit of the stock PP2 wheels and that slight “poke” looks good to me. I know plenty disagree.

Just test fitted these wheels last night and went for a spirited test drive as this will be my track set. No contact or rubbing under a variety of braking and turning maneuvers. Currently on M-18000-F FRPP Shocks with BMR Handling Springs and -1.8 Camber in all 4 corners. Also have Steeda Roll Center Correction Lateral Links, Bump Steer Kit and Control Arms with spherical bearings for reference. Here are some pics on car and a width comparison of my PP1 Wheels and the PP2 rear wheels. I got the 10.5 inch wide up front and 11 inch wide in rear and 305/30/19 Goodyear F1 Supercar 3 tires. Purchased from our forum sponsor Levittown Ford. Shipping was also fast from PA to AZ. Excellent service from Benny and Levittown Ford. Bought the complete package including TPMS and tool to calibrate to car. Car seemed to recognize wheels and tire pressure without using tool. Hope this answer most question as I know I had a lot before I purchased. Thanks to Brian@BVMK for answering my questions on fitment. Wheels are a swap out for track day use. No spacers and no extended bolts for this application, but also no rotation unless you have a hook up to have tires dismounted from rims to rotate.

Those look real good, the drop from those springs work well with the 30-series tires. I think I would prefer a slightly taller tire... 305/35 would be perfect but either way looks great. Seeing your car is making me regret I didn't just go with a square setup like everyone was recommending! Oh well... I like mine too. How about a pick showing the front "poke"? Did you need any spacers?

I am with @MRGTX , the poke doesnt bother me, I actually kinda like it. Gives the car more of a muscled up stance especially when lowered a bit.

305 is stock size, for the pp2. If you want to run 275 (assuming from your sig, you have a pp1), that would work but it'll stretch the tire. 255 on the front for the 10.5" wheel would be a stretch too. I would recommend the SVE SP2 wheels. They have a 10" option: https://lmr.com/products/mustang-sve-sp2-wheels-15-19#17634

This is supposedly a 275 tire on an 11" wheel:

That's baller, dawg.

No spacers and I will get a pic next time wheels are on for a track day.

Well the decision has been made. I purchased these wheels instead of the SVE.

I went for the 9.5/10 wheel setup and I'll continue to use my factory PP1 tires. Maybe I'll go a little wider in the rear next time I need new tires but not by much maybe like 285s.

I purchased the wheel kit M1007KDC19MB
instead of purchasing each wheel individually, comes with the pressure sensors.

I ended up paying much more than what the sve kit cost but I like the idea of having a factor spec setup I'll even be able to use my existing lug nuts and locks, probably even the same center cap since the Ford performance caps I believe are the same size as the PP1 caps.

Not having to worry about rubbing, offsets, spacers, or studs was the deciding factor for me. I know getting new wheels and keeping all the same sizes is not sexy but that's okay for me

looks like cj pony parts has the best deal on these when you factor in their available free shipping

True. I ordered through Summit and CJ is about $90 cheaper but I had a $100 off promo code so it was about the same for me.

Just pulled the trigger on these as well in the 9.5/10 combo. Will probably go with Contis extreme contact sport 285 front / 295 rear. Per manufacturer their 285 goes with 9 to 11 inch rim so it should be good with the 9.5

They are backordered with 8/6 ETA....will be a long wait

Those Summit dates aren't too reliable, I've had backordered parts ship in half the time but I've also had parts ship a week or two after the ETA.

I've had orders where they actually updated the estimated ship date like three times because it was taking so long to ship.

Yeah, especially during this pandemic going on...what ETA did you get on your set?

My original expected ship date was 7/27/20

Right now I don't have a ship date but I do have an expected arrival date of 8/7/20
