GT350 (Non R) Spare tire/wheel info

[JohnVallo]

I just verified that the Shelby GT350 (Non R) Wheels/Tires from the rear, will not fit on the front. (Inside of tire hits strut)
They have the same problem as the PP (Performance Package) wheels/tires.

Like the PP, you would definitely need a wheel spacer for the front, then the rear Wheel/Tire might fit.

I am a: 'Must have a full size spare' person, (especially on a trip)

For my full size spare solution I purchased this:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/mmd-axim-silver-19x85-2015.html
It fits on Front and Rear.

And will put a 175/60R19 economical tire on it.
Try to get as close to an 86 1/2" (inflated) circumference as you can if you want the same circumference as the Factory Tires.
It won't quite fit in the spare tire well, but I use that for Tools/Jack.

I thought the rear wheel on the GT350 was the same size as the front wheel on the GT350R, or do they have different offsets that allow the bigger wheel in the front for the GT350R

Thanks for the info!

Yes different offsets

will that tire / wheel also fit an R then?
I like the idea of having a spare.

I put the Equus 19" spare on my 2018 PP1 car, BUT it has to be bored out to 70.66mm/2.782" to fit the Mustang hub. It clears the Brembo brakes in the front too! I got the spare on eBay for $175.00.
