POLL: Which size wheels would you choose?

[FlowForm_Wheels]

A 19x10/ 19x10.5 or even an 11 in the rear would be awesome. 18x11 square would be pretty sweet too

Issue with 18x10 is your going towards a certain market and that's those who typically track their cars.

Hey Jay, the 18x10 is offered specifically for the track day customer as it will be one of the only 18" out there that will clear the GT PP brakes. The BBS World Challenge wheel is the only one outside of custom Forged wheels that I am aware of that will currently clear.

The interesting thing I noticed on the 15 I looked at yesterday was that the rear fender lip is now rolled tight which is great for clearance. I never saw anyone mention that before. :ford: the front is definitely the limiting factor until I install some Cortex offset coilovers and or remove my fender liners

@flow-form what was the biggest size you were able to fit with the stock suspension up front?

We will know more once we get our own to play with, but for the purposes of the SEMA measuring session we brought a 20x10 et40 that had enough room to tightly fit a pencil in between the strut and wheel - approx 7 to 10mm. Out board, with the 10" et40 there is 12mm of room to move out. However there is a 5mm rolled fender lip to account for up front, so to avoid issues you could go another 7mm out. In a nut-shell, you could fit 10.5" up front, but 11" will need some decent mods, which very well may mean trimming or removing the fender liner for lock to lock clearance. Yes indeed though, Cortex has their hands on it and will have answers soon.

I had 315/20 on my s197 on 11" wheels I would be adverse to stay with that for rear tire I sure don't want to go smaller. Nitto Invos tend to run on the small side.

These 19" are only 1/4 inch smaller that is only an 1/8" from the axle to the ground not enough to worry about. These would be ideal.

Wheel size and Fitment

Gentlemen...

I would like to run a square set up on the 2015 as well. I'd like to run 19" for weight reasons and the widest possible without clearance issues.


Are you guy's confident that 19" x 10" will work?

Thank you in advance for your help

Right, I'm excited to say the least to see the 18x10's when they're available. Seeing how we'll be tracking this one

19x10 fits the S197, I'd wager they'll fit the S550 but with different offsets.

It will be about spoke design as well on these big Brembos.

Oh yeah big time. We can look for wheels that fit the '13-14 GT500's to verify brake clearance.

In case you didn't see it farther up, I posted the findings with a fitting of a 10" wide et40 wheel up front. Yes indeed 18x10, 19x10 and 20x10 all fit up front with the correct offset.

What kind of offset and tire would you run on a 10" up front

 

[Swoope]

would love to hear about a light weight afordable 18x10 that fits the pp ecoboost.

I would go with a 285/30 20 on the 10" front and the offset is et40.

The fitments are the same whether you have an EB, GT or V6. We did fitments to the hardest to package scenario - the GT PP because of its brakes. It will clear the eco PP brakes and GT brakes with ease.

if you come up with a 18x10 that will fit anything that is lightweight, you win! unless it is but ugly. but still, i would run butt ugly on track.. i might paint it orange just for fun!
