New 2015 GT/PP

[MazzaBL]

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:

Runs to the driveway to check my car...

Nope, my setup is staggered with 275s in back and 255s in front. You scored my friend. Congrats!

Nice!! They should've run your car for the track tests...could've picked up .2-.4 on that comparison against the 1LE

Nice! Well now I know I can run the same sizes all around. I'd rather have the same sizes for rotation purposes for one.

THIS! Definitely would be very nice to rotate, prevent the feathering and the womp womp womp womp noises without rotation.

Here's hoping they make the same mistake on my car being built...would much rather have the square set up. Congrats on the new ride!!

From what I've heard the rear rims will not work on the front of the car so you're still stuck not being able to rotate. :/

Does anyone have the wheel specs as they are supposed to be delivered from factory? As in offsets and width?

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.

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.
