Mach 1 HP wheels on a GT350 anyone?

[JimmyNY]

Would like to get the Ford Performance GT350R Brembo Kit for my Mach 1. Not sure if they'll fit.

Does anyone tried to put the Mach 1 HP wheels on a GT350?

i gave my buddy my 2022 HP wheels for his 2016 gt350. They would not fit over the rear brembos on his car.

That's odd as the rears typically have more clearance than the front calipers with most wheel designs.

i thought so also until i saw the rear brembos on the back. I only have brembos up front. Check the diff in the rear brakes, my mach 1 with new MRR wheels vs gt 350 brembos.

You will have to also get the GT 350 front spindles. Both the M1 and 350 have magneride but because of the much larger front rotors, ford had to create another spindle for the 350 so the giant rotors would clear the front strut. Regular non-MR cars don't have that problem. Then chances are your M1 wheels won't fit over the huge 15.5" rotors anyway.

I was told by a local Ford dealer and a tire/wheel performance shop that none of the GT variants or the Mach1 wheels would fit on a GT350.... caliper clearance issues due to the size of the rotors.
I really wanted the GT PP2 wheels on my GT350, I researched and researched, was told no way several times.

Great info.

You got your front wheels on and only the rears won't fit?

I've got custom made 20" wheels with the same offsets as the OEM Mach 1 HP wheels. Wish I knew then what I know now.

Yes, he said the fronts fit, but the rears didnt quite clear.

Well aware of the difference on the rear brakes between models, but GT350's are often able to fit 18'" wheels on the rear while being limited to 19's almost exclusively up front as the fronts are larger than the rears. I was just commenting that it was odd that he was able to get the front wheels to clear (which is the clearance issue 99% of the time) but then somehow wasn't able to get the rears to fit.

By comparison the PP2 wheels will clear the rear, but won't clear the front so if anything was expecting the same with the Mach 1 HP wheels.
