Some more possibly...looks like them.

do you mind posting some pics of your setup?? I was planning to drop to a 35 profile but maybe that’s a mistake.

I have been playing around with the offset calculators and I guess I already have an “aggressive” fitment. My stock wheels with 25mm spacers sit out farther than the SVE 10/11 setup and I like how it looks now. It’s hard to find a set of wider wheels that will sit the same way without some creative use of spacers. I think I can run rear wheels on the front with the spacers and end up with the same flushness.

I made a typo on my previous post. I have 285/35/19 tires. The wheels have a similar stance to your car, but since my car is black, it's hard to see the poke, but I'll try to post some pics along with a side pic.

Here is a birds eye view of the SVE SP2 19x10s with 285/35 tires. I added a quick side view to show how it sits. These are on the FP W springs which are supposed to be a 20mm drop.

I think those are RTR Tech5 wheels... very similar design. They are on my list of favorites too.

Thanks for the pics, those wheels look so good. I was playing around with the offset calculator and I realized I was making a mistake, I was using the wrong offsets for my factory PP1 wheels. Once I corrected my math, the SVE wheels would be nearly identical in "poke" to my wheels now. So sizing is perfect and no spacers needed. Now I am thinking about the tire sidewall and the look. My rear tires are about 10mm taller than the fronts. Which makes me wonder if I am going to like the look of having a shorter sidewall on the back. I dont plan to lower it.

What tire sizes?

You can do a side by side using this: https://tiresize.com/comparison/. If you go 285, i would stick to a 40 sidewall since you don't plan to lower your car. 285/35 will increase that wheel gap. I would stay with a 40 sidewall until you start thinking about going 305 and up. The below is a 285/35/19 square setup on stock height.

I like it, personally I'm glad I didn't go with 325s and 11in wheels in the back, I've read to many horror stories of rock chips and such, these are 285s all the way around.

If I do a square setup, I would use 285/35-19 all around, the sidewall height should be about 100mm, same as my current front tires. My current back tires are 110mm, taking up some of the rear wheel gap. If I go with a staggered setup, I can do a 305, 315, or 325/35 in back and the sidewall height will be 110-113 in back, very close to the stock appearance as far as gap is concerned.

@gismo4 - Thanks for those pics, I was trying to find them. Thats exactly what I needed. I do like that too... the gap is a little more but not bad.

Wonder whats the offset on the 10 inch wheel.
Would be better to run a square 10 set up rather than 9.5/10 staggered

These wheels are a favorite except for the weight, and I need to find out the offsets. The others I am considering is the MMR M600 and the P51 wheels, but I’ve heard that the P51 isn’t a good choice for track duty. And don’t even get me started on the wheel finish... do I stick with black like the PP wheels? Or go with gunmetal to change things up and make it a little easier to clean. I am so sick of cleaning the PP wheels!

I got a response from Ford Performance. Here are the Ford Performance wheel specs:

Looks like the 10" wheel will sit more inside and have no poke compared to the SVE SP2 10" wheels. By about .69".
The 9.5" wheel should be more inside as well compared to the SVE SP2 10" wheels. By about .45".

That seems to be an odd size with limited options, at least on Tirerack.

Yea, options are limited. I only went with the 285/35/19 because I found the yokohama advan sports for cheap plus I was planning on lowering my car. But, if I wasn't going to lower it, I'd look for something close to OEM sizes. Either 275/40 or 305/35. If I were to go in between, I'd rather fill in the wheel gap than increase it. To each their own though. Hopefully everyone finds what they like.

Yea its just a personal preference. I think the lowered cars look hot, especially with the right wheels and stance and all. But I also know there are a lot of compromises, and cost, that goes along with it. For me, I kind of prefer the ride height of my car stock, everything really with the height of the tire, the gap is tall to some people, but to me its more of a purposeful, old school look. I was even originally considering going to 18' forged wheels that clear the calipers, but after looking at tons of pictures I decided against it. In this case, 285/40 would be too tall for the front wheels, I don't think I would like that. I might just bolt my rear wheel on the front as a test.

Thanks for this info... these are different specs than what Summit Racing is publishing. They must have the part numbers that are specific to the PP2 Mustangs.
They have:
19x9.5 +52.5
19x11 +48
19x10.5 +24.05

Here is 275/40 on the 19x10 SP2s all around on stock suspension, if this helps:

Some eye candy and non technical pics

These pics are pretty blown out. I'll be sure to get better one's once I get em on for good.

Yea that helps a lot... this looks pretty good. Those tires would be cheaper for sure. Thanks again!

285/35/19 isn't bad, there's a few options out there, I was talking about the suggestion of 285/40/19. This is kind of what I'm looking at too, the LMR PP2 wheels, 10" all around running 285/35/19 Continental Extremecontact Sport or Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s.
