I only took one from the rear today, it didn’t turn out very well because it was pretty cloudy. I can probably get a better one tomorrow.

Cloudy most of the day here, too, but it still looks like a ton of tire you've got there! Fantastic that a Mustang will fit that much without a lot of drama.

From a coupe different angles at the rear you can really see how wide they are. No hassle in fitting them, they bolted right up with no rubbing. Other cars I’ve had to bust out the BFH and clearance inner fenders a little.

@TexasMetallic5.0 , thanks for checking the center caps from the 18s... bummer that they're not an easy fit but it sounds like it might be worth trying some silicone, etc.

The car looks awesome! It's hard to believe that our base GTs came with 235s! Now that's one hell of an upgrade. Have you had a chance to put down any miles yet?

Here's a side view of mine with the same sizes.

Thanks. Yeah I was hoping I might get lucky with the caps, but that’s how my luck goes anyway. I drove it twice yesterday, about 40 miles, and hit the lug nuts with the torque wrench again. Everything was still tight. It rode just as well as before.

Did LMR send them with 325’s? I didn’t see that option on their website. How are the Ohtsu tires? I’ve never heard of them.

They used to, last year they had a cooper tire setup listed for most wheels. they had a 325/30/19 rear and a 285/35 front. IIRC they were one of the cheaper options.

No, I just ordered the rims from them. I'm running the Ohtsu tires on the front. I've ran 2 sets of those on my truck and have had good luck with them. They're made by Falken, which is what came on the wheels I bought for my truck, and when I was looking for new tires I found out Ohtsu was made by Falken, same tire with just a different name on the sidewall and a little cheaper. I went with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2 for the rear, because they have a decent treadwear and my car doesn't see the track. Plus the tread patterns between the two brands are very similar. I was going to go with Cooper tires, since I work at their plant here on the weekends, but their 325's have been out of stock everywhere for a few months.

Considering buying these for my '18 Lightning Blue GT. I just can't decide if Satin Bronze or Gloss Graphite will look better... Also, will I have any issues putting them on with the 35mm offset it has? Or can I just directly put them in? I currently have PP wheels & tires. I'm also pretty low without any wheel gap, I'm hoping 285/35/19's won't cause any issues all around (going squared)? Or should I stay staggered with 305's in the rear instead and 285's in the front?

Either color would look good on a blue car. I've just received my Bronze set and I really like the tone on them. 35mm of offset is an pretty good offset for S550. The wheel will be flush with the fender without poking out. And finally, 285/35R19 is the go-to size for lowered car. Up to you if you want larger tires in the back. Squared: 285/35R19 all around or else Staggered : Different size front and back (personal opinion)

Nice that's great to hear!! I'm leaning more towards the bronze myself now just 'cause it'd look more unique and stand out (although I would then paint my red calipers to black or something). I was told 35mm offset is fine for the front, but I would need 50mm offset for the rears?? I know LMR has the 50mm offset option for the staggered 305 option. I just really hope I don't get any rubbing.

If you take the time to go around this thread from page 1, you'll see lowered car with square setup. You shouldn't worry. I'm 99% sure it will work. Unless, you're lowered 3 inches with a monstruous coilover kit.

I'm running the bronze, staggered 285/305 on my Velocity Blue and constantly get compliments.
