Picked up from Ford Performance the PP2 wheel set and mounted same size 305/30ZR19 PS4S for street and I'll use the factory wheels and Sport Cup 2's for track. The FP rims are matte black.

This looks great! Is it lowered? 285/35/19 on all four corners? Are the tires flush with the fenders? I'm thinking of this type of setup for my car!

Do you have anymore pictures (maybe social media) and what are the specs? I'm really diggin this wheel and stance.
These are about all I have. I guess I need more photos!
Wheel specs are Apex EC-7’s, 19x10 et40 front and 19x11 et52 back. Tire specs are 275/35/19f, 305/35/19r. No spacers. Ohlins coil-over Road & Track suspension. About 1” lower. Not sure exactly because it was down 2, up 1, down 1/2.....trying to find the right balance. In my estimation it is down 1” right now. Camber -1.9 front, -1.7 rear.

do you know your spring rates?
The manual doesn’t say, but I saw on American Muscle that they claim:
  • Front Spring Rate: 514 Pounds Per Inch
  • Rear Spring Rate: 800 Pounds Per Inch

These are awesome, appreciate it! What color are your wheels? I have a Triple Yellow mustang and am trying to figure out the best color to go with, kinda sick of black. Would you reccomend this setup for the street, I probably won't be tracking my car, but I like the style of these wheels and want the car to be a little lower so that it looks better than stock ride height.

They call that Anthracite. Here is the link: https://www.apexraceparts.com/shop-...stang/19x10-et40-apex-ec-7-mustang-wheel.html

I think the wheels and height are great for the street. I would not recommend the camber settings and linear-rate springs for the street.

I would consider looking at the tires you want before you pick the wheel size. Example, I really like Michelin A/S3+ all-season tires but they don't make them in a 305. So in my case I'd want something narrower in a wheel, probably a 10" wide with a 285 on it. I just sold my performance pack wheels (9, 9.5) to make room for another set of APEX track wheels. The PP wheels had 255/40/19 and 275/40/19 Mich A/S3+ and were really good. I do miss them around town, but gotta make room! And the guy I sold them to put them on a '17 in Guard Green to replace his stock aluminum...looked sweet. So win-win.

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate your help! And you should definitely post more pics.
