New 2015 GT/PP

[IndustryLeech]

You can definitely put 275's on a 9" rim, I'm running it right now on my car.

It is however the max recommended.

Good to know, thanks. You're never going to skin those wheels on a curb.

Here's 275/40/19's on the 9" front PP rim.

the only other car ive heard of that has the squared setup is in this video [ame]

the driver states the car with PP has 275's all around, while reading through the comments on the video, a few people commented, correcting him that the PP gt has a staggered setup, in response to the comments, the reviewer confirmed that the car he drove had 275's all around. i initially saw this video prior to getting my car so i didnt think much of it, seeing as how this video seems to be a sanctioned track event, possibly sponsored by ford, to let reviewers test the new models. but low and behold my car came with 275's all around. was just wondering how common this was.

I can see 275s all around, but the question is what wheels did they put on your car?

Hello,
I recently traded in my 2012 GT/CS for a 2015 premium GT with performance pack. So far im loving the car, its leaps and bounds ahead of any mustang i've ever owned/driven. I love how balanced the car is as well as the overall refinement and quality. One thing i've noticed is, every review i've read for the GT with PP indicates the car has a staggered wheel/tire setup, with 9 inch wheels in the front, and 9.5 inches in the rear, and tires being 255/40 up front, and 275/40's in the rear. My car actually has 275/40's on all 4 corners. Does anyone else's car have this squared tire setup? Im also wondering if that means i likely have 9.5 inch wheels all around. Ive read on forums that ford has had some issues regarding how to option these cars in some cases (cars with redline package don't all come with red door cards, cars with PP and 50th ann. pack not all having 50th ann. grill, as well as a car reviewer noting that the car he drove and tested had a squared 275/40 setup as well). I've been lurking these forums for a bit prior to buying my 2015, and am glad to see how active it is. Just thought i'd riddle my first post with a question :ford:

What does the door sticker say? It's easy to tell the difference between a 275 on a 9.5" rim vs a 9.0" rim. Post some pictures. Yank a wheel off and the backside should have a the wheel size cast into it.

I don't think you could put 275 on a 9" wide rim so it's likely he has the 9.5" all around. I thought I read about a shortage of many rims on the assembly line a few weeks back. Maybe they ran out of the 9" wheels and instead of holding up builds they sent a few square setups out.

My son has been running 275/40s on 9" rims for years. They are not overly wide and they work fine. If they rub on the front of the 15, that could be an issue, but the tire/rim pairing is fine.

I wonder if the next car on the assembly line got a 255 square setup?

 

[AnthonyWHAT]

My car is scheduled to be built tomorrow...wonder if I'll get lucky?

 

[MazzaBL]

when i get some free time this week ill pull off a front and rear wheel and see if they're both 9.5 in.

Here's 275/40/19's on the 9" front PP rim.

Cool picture! But we can't read the tire specs on the sidewall, just the name brand.

He told us the size (275/40R19).

You can see how the tire looks on the wheel which is what I believe to be the purpose of his post.

 

[2015 drof]

My mistake I was trying to reply back to a different post. The car does look fantastic though!

 

[MazzaBL]

Here's a quick pic just as proof, because you know, it's the internet and all lol.

 

[Budwise]

I'm 99% sure it'll still be the 9" rim but you got lucky either way. Squared setups ftw.

 

[dwaleke]

But if the wheels are different spec it's not really a square setup.

Just same tire front/rear.
