It's hard for me to say exactly as there are other factors at play but going from stock PP1 to 285 S007A tires square was a large improvement. I felt as though I could be more sloppy with my turn in and the increased grip would pull me through.
I am very happy with them. I had some hesitation when I saw just how different they looked from official PP2 wheels. The details on the spokes, etc. are really close but I wanted that extra poke in the front and the specific finish that Ford chose.
Exactly. I know some people don't like this but when it's a factory setup for the top spec GT package it looks very serious to me. The real PP2 cars just have a look about them and this subtle wheel offset choice is a big part of that.
That's interesting about your wheel search misadventures. I noticed some 'refurbished' OEM'S out there and was skeptical. Thanks for validating my concerns and sharing all the 411.
That plan makes sense. In case you hadn't looked into this, you may need small spacers to run the 11s on the front. If you have camber plates and running a bunch of negative camber up front, you may be able to get away with it without a spacer but I'm far from certain on that.
For the SP2 19x11 +50 wheel, you will in fact need a 25mm spacer up front to clear the strut. The camber is just to prevent wheel poke (or if you're a track guy: to get better turn in and better tire wear)
It's very little work - problem is that you never will be super accurate while doing that and changing camber will affect your toe.
You absolutely can but you'll also have to adjust front toe as adjusting camber on a MacPherson strut will simultaneously alter toe due to the geometries.
