Looking great! BTW, does the 197 have any drop? I can't really tell. If it does, it's minimal. I get my Conti EC Sport 285/35-19s mounted on my 19x10 EC-7s tomorrow, BTW. Really looking forward to it! Will post pics...when it's clean. It's supposed to pour tomorrow...of course.

Thanks! The S197 is lowered, it has Ground Control coilovers. It wasn't slammed on purpose, to retain plenty of bump travel for the dampers and to be able to hop curbs on track if necessary. S197's are pretty tall from the factory, so while this car isn't slammed, it's still around 1.5 inches lower up front and about 2 inches in the rear.

Great tire choice by the way, the Conti EC Sport is a tremendous value. Please do post some pics!

Cory if I bought a wheel/tire set up from you, would it be possible for me to send you these OEM center caps to install?

I assume we could do a 19x10 front and 19x11.5 rear on a NON-GT350. like my '18 GT PP1 car??

What is that center cap from? Our wheels do not fit every OEM cap out there, as there are many nuances between them so it's impossible to fit each one. Either way, the center cap takes literally 1 second to pop out. Gently grab the plastic ring on the backside then push it out, presto.

Yep! You're correct that setup, 19x10" ET40 front and 19x11" ET56 rear, would fit a non-GT350 and would not require any spacers. Rear fitment between the GT350 and other cars are the same.

Silver on silver. Square set up 18x11s with 305 NT01s, 3" ARP studs, and 25mm spacers. Shaved 3 seconds off my dry lap time with square 285/19 MPS4S and the track was wet ha.

The EC-7 uses a center cap design from older Mustangs, that won't fit. The SM-10 will accept OEM S550 PP center cap.

Looks amazing! I really dig the silver on silver.

Any idea if the 19x10 +40 Wheel would clear GT350 brakes? I have an 18 GT PP1 car that will be getting GT350R brakes all the way around on it and I'm curious if I need to go the 19x10.5 route for a true GT350 setup to clear the brakes, or if the 19x10 route would clear the brake setup used on the GT350s

The 19x10" ET40 does clear the GT350/R brakes. The photos I posted earlier of the Race Red GT350 with the R wing have 19x10" ET40 up front on some of them. No issues anywhere.

Fantastic. Group Buy here I come then. It makes it so much easier trying to fit a 19x10 up front vs 19x10.5 on the non gt350 fenders(especially with a 2018 which doesn't have an options available currently). I was just honestly worried about clearances with the brakes.

Sweet! And I agree, 19x10's work great on these cars. Let me know if you have any questions about the Group Buy process.

I think I have the basics covered on the Group Buy. Easy setup to be honest.

Brian's GT350 and Hiram's S197 GT are both looking killer on our new SM-10 wheels.
