Magna Ride PP1 Wheel Offset and spacers

[Hadelson]

Car is on order. Looking at options to increase track by 1". This is a PP1 Magna Ride Car. What have others done here with recommendations what works and what does not. This is my fun car not planning on track-just drive with fun.

Thanks

The Magneride GTs have upgraded front spindles and rear hubs. The magnetorheological shocks were tearing up the standard GT hubs.

So, I think the magneride rear track width is wider than standard GTs. I used 19”x11” rear wheels with a +50 offset and I wish I had gotten +56 offset. IMHO it pokes a little too much. The factory rear PP1 19”x9.5” wheel has a +52 offset.

I used 19”x10” front wheels with a +35 offset. That is perfectly flush with P285 MPS4S tires. The factory front PP1 wheel is 19”x9” with a +45 offset.

Cheers,

Thanks for information. This is an area I do not know....so the offset is basically the distance from the mounting point inward? So by increasing rim width and less offset, the track actually was wider?

Thanks again

Would the rear track on the Magneride GT not be the same as the GT350 then?

That is my guess. But; I haven’t seen any proof of that. All I know is that a common S550 rear wheel size/offset combo pokes more than I thought it would.

I need someone to measure the GT350’s rear flange width and I can compare it to my GT magneride. Or the rear flange width of a non-magneride GT would work also.

I went 275 square on mine as I’d rather be able to rotate tires. Used these 5mm hubcentric spacers to fit the wider rims on the front:

The wheel offset is how far the wheel center is away from the center line of the wheel. I increased the stock track width by ~1.7”.

PP1 rear wheel outside rim stock distance from rotor hat is
(WheelWidth/2) - WheelOffset
((9.5”/2)*25.4) - 52.5 = 68.15mm


Custom rear wheel width/offset
((11”/2)*25.4) - 50 = 89.7mm

Custom rear wheel track width increase
(89.7mm - 68.14mm) * 2 = 43.1mm

Cheers

Did you have to get completely new wheels in order to go into a square set up?

If the front and rear wheels are different sizes, it's not "square", it's a trapezoid.

My 2 posts in this thread should give you a good idea of what you can do: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/rt660-275-vs-295-advise.193481/post-3879311

Keep in mind that without negative camber on the front there will be some poke with 305 tires. Take a look at other posts and puctures as well.
