2021 model came stock with 18x8 and I'm wanting to run 19x9 squared without worrying about having to install limiters, spacers or any other type mods. Would this be possible, would I need to adjust camber or anything like that? Also, what's a good wheel manufacturer that has lightweight wheels that won't break the bank?

I haven't seen many 19x9 wheels, but SVE has many styles in 19x10. Well made, light weight, color options, perfect fit with no spacers or mods. I might be slightly prejudiced (see sig).

Know that every lb added to wheel / tire (unsprung mass) is same as adding 10 lb to car.

You can go 19 X 9 or 9.5 255 on 9" or 265 on either without tramlining like crazy or accelerating wear on front end or wheel bearings.

Look for rotary / flow / etc forged 24-27 lb ea with JAL or TUV stamp on wheel.with reg #. Someone has a sale somewhere. TSW rotary forged are great if can get a deal. Even OE wheels are fine heavy but can take the hits and cheap on classifieds here or local to you.

Did your AFE Dry Air Filter come with a sound tube delete plug, (to plug it off at the firewall) or does it connect to the new filter?

19x10 with 285/35/19s squared. 35mm offset. No spacers. Bolt right up with no issue. What I'm running. Perfect size for DD and tire prices are still reasonable. 255/265 is to narrow and wont handle well on mustang. Car needs at least 285s, even with stock power levels.

IMHO - Some of us prefer 275/40 on the 19x10 wheels. Less fender gap and better ride quality.

These are fairly big cars and going from 8.5" to 10" wheels made a big impact on stability and yes, looks. They look just right with 10" wheels imo.

I recommend 275/40r as they fill the wheel wells perfectly and with a good tire you're not going to notice the extra bit of sidewall during hard cornering.
