GT500 Carbon Fiber Wheels on a GT350

[GTIIIL]

Has anybody installed the 20” carbon fiber wheels on a GT350? I may have a chance to buy a set at a good price and I wondered if there were any issues with the swap? These would be probably for the street as I already have a track set (although these would be better than those but are too valuable).

The offsets are different but they should work. I have 20” base wheels off a 500 that I use for the street. 305 in the front and 315 in the rear, not sure if track pack cars are wider or not.

check out Mustang Manny on instagram. He put them on his GT350R.

They will fit I believe

Post #27 has the CFTP wheel offsets. The rears will sit 6mm further outboard than the already pokey GT350R OE wheels so I think that would be pretty weird unless you want your Mustang to look like a 4x4 mudder. The rear hub on the 500 is different than the 350 so that's why the 500s run a lower offset but still sit flush with the fender in the back.

Thanks for all the good information. I wasn’t totally convinced they would fit, but thought it was worth asking since they’re right nearby.

I'd love to put a set of these on my 350.

I was thinking of using some base GT500 wheels on my 350R because I got a great deal on 20 Perelli Corsa tires. 305/30r20. I’ve gotten great track times on those at Ozark International in my 500. Figure I’d use them up on the 350r as well. Glad to hear they will fit! I also have a spare set of CFTP wheels for the 500 but don’t know if the studs were the correct length on the 350R.

They poke a little too much in the rear. The two cars have different rear suspension geometry, from what I've read due to the e brake amongst other things....

In the immortal word of Randy Jackson…”yeeaahhhh, that’s gonna be a no for me dawg”.

LOL.

Looks like the same poke out of signature wheels.

I have two sets that pole just like that.

Tires that poke out past the edge of the fender make me see this:

Drive thru a puddle and it’s back to the wash & detailing.

Not even. T’s rear wheels are R offset unless you ask for something different. That pic of the carbon wheels is a drastic difference from Signature wheels. That pic sticks out a solid 5+ mm further. And you know darn well, in terms of wheels and offset, 5mm might as well be a mile. ;-p

Hmm, after the weekend, I'll take a picture of the poke on both my Rs of CF vs signature wheels.

You shouldn't have to use camber to hide it.

Signature wheel with -1.3°. That’s no better no worse than any R I’ve ever seen. And not even close to the 500 wheel in that pic!
