Pics of my 2016 CO GT with new P51 101RF Wheels

I'm really starting to dig the design of these wheels. Too bad they don't come in bright or hyper silver as standard.

are you saying you would put wider wheels and tires on the front of the car then??? wut.

staggered for life.

Like I said, at least 4-square.

There's wheel and tire choices for looks, and wheel and tire choices for performance in corners. With the nose-heavy balance of our cars, it actually would be best to have a slightly wider contact patch at the front, but a 4-square would be better than a staggered set-up.

PP cars (staggered) under-steer, and I'd want to avoid that if possible.

Those wheels are gorgeous, and look spectacular on your car.

I hesitate to ask, but can you share the cost?

I'll never understand putting wider wheels & tires on the rear of a front-heavy car. Hell, Ford does that with the PP cars.

At worst it should be a 4-square set-up.

Still, the car looks gorgeous, there's no denying that.

Why wouldn't you? During weight transfer to the rear, and due to the fact the drive wheels are at the rear that's where traction is needed. Sure you'll benefit from some added traction in the front, but it most definitely doesn't need to be wider than the rears. Not to mention the rear tires are handling vertical and horizontal forces. The fronts are only handling horizontal forces, they don't have to also contend with vertical force from 400 WHP.

The fronts are only handling horizontal forces, they don't have to also contend with vertical force from 400 WHP.

The front contact patches deal with way more forces than the rears. Our cars can brake way harder than they accelerate. I've gotten something like 1.12G under max braking.

The fronts also (obviously) have to withstand horizontal forces, as do the rears, but there's more weight up front. So, for proper handling balance, a rear-biased stagger is terrible. Stupid. An under-steer inducing marketing mistake.

At a minimum, any Mustang package that has the word Track in it, should have a 4-square set-up. Especially because the suspension geometry on these cars is so damned good, that the handling (and braking) is finally on par with the acceleration.

One more thing;

This is a track.

This is a "strip".

Not bad. A bit too open for my taste but those would look great with some slotted rotors.

well on a road course of course you don't run staggered...but going 45mph down the road on interstate speeds. staggered on american muscle!

The beauty of the Mustang is it can be whatever you want it to be. It can be "American Muscle" if you'd like, and it can be a Sports Coupe/Grand Touring car if you want.

So, for me, I'd prefer the Performance Pack come with a 4-square set-up.

Of course Ford couldn't care less about what I think.:lol::lol:

This is exactly why I chose this car. You can do what you want with it. It's why the mustang is the perfect platform for the car enthusiast. The car is my daily, I have a GT350 Intake Manifold, JLT CAI, LU47 injectors, and a catback with stock exhaust manifolds/cats. Do I track/drag the car, not often. Do I daily and enjoy the power when on a spirited drive? Yes! The question I think people should ask, whatever you decide to do with the car is, when you park the car and walk away, do you turn to take another look at it? If you don't, then you have the wrong car.

And....rear wheel drive doesn't play a factor in wider rear???

It does. But there are other factors at play.

im sold... i LOVE the wheels!

 

[Draklia]

These appear to be another clone very similar to the SVE GT7 and MRR M600. Curious if they are priced closer to the less expensive GT7 or the more expensive M600?

 

[Mike's Mustang]

The website where he got them says a set of 4 are $1,860.

I like em!

 

[Zerobar78]

I hate you sir, because that looks absolutely stunning and I'm jealous as F......

This is a track.

And this is the same track with a bunch of S550 Mustangs on it
