What rear wheel is this guy running?

[Melmark93]

He says he's running 325/30-19 Mickey Thompson ET Street SS. Can anyone recognize
the 19" wheels? They kinda look like SVE S350, but those aren't supposed to fit. Best
shot is around the 32 sec. frame.

is it not just an OEM newer 350 wheel?

Do they fit over the caliper??? I've been looking for a year & half for a good
wheel/DR combo and was it right there all this time.

What is your rear wheel width? Some where there was a change from 10.5" to 11".
2018-2019 maybe???
Also, 11" 350 wheels have an offset of 62mm, so I wonder if he is using 1/2"+ spacers
to match the 500 50mm offset.

THREAD UPDATE: To review a bit, due to the better selection of drag radials in 19" size I was looking for reasonably priced 19" wheels that fit. I purchased a pair of 2020 GT350 wheels (19x11") and verified what YouTuber BluByU posted. The wheel barrel clears the caliper, but the spokes hit. Since he has a CFTP 500 I think the longer studs allowed him to use a plain hub centric 1/2" (or possibly a 15mm) spacer to make up the 62/50mm offset difference. My Base 500 requires a spacer with holes and studs. I went with an Eibach 20mm spacer which is the thinnest spacer that the spacer nuts fit completely within the spacer. With the spacer attached, the factory lugs extend approx. a 1/2" beyond the face of the spacer. The back side of the 350 wheel has pockets between the lug holes, but they need to be milled out to 5/8" dia. and .65" deeper than the contact face. Also, there is no pocket across from the valve stem, so it needs a bit more milling. Milling was easily done on a buddies CNC mill. BluByU used 325/30-19 Mickey Thompsons ET Street SS. After getting the wheels prep'd, I ordered tires only to find MT has dis-continued that size for at least this season and possibly forever. I had to go with MT 305/35-19. Their tread width is slightly greater than the stock 315, have good clearance on the inside and stick out of the fender well about 3/8" more than stock. A 325 may have stuck out too much, so maybe it was a win/win. I haven't been to the strip yet to test them out.

The 305/35 should actually work better at the strip than a 325/30 due to more sidewall.
Good luck and keep us updated.

You could also replace the rear hubs with CFTP hubs and use a slip-on spacer.

I run Forgestar Cf5 18x11s with 50mm offset. Had to barely gring the vertical links but that's it.

Hey, thats me!

They're just 2019 GT350 rear wheels and I had to use a hub-centric spacer to get the spokes to clear the calipers. I can't remember if it was a 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch spacer I used. https://www.cjponyparts.com/accelat...lack-5x4-5-pair-mustang-1994-2022/p/WHSP77-V/

Unless you have a CFTP car you would likely need longer wheel studs to make that setup work though.

*Just realized you got something sorted, I didn't realize that M/T has stopped making this tire size.

It sure is! I looked all over the web for you to get the details on your set-up, but your YouTube channel does not have the PM function enabled. I pieced the details together with help from the guys here. I don't go to the strip often enough to be worth installing CFTP studs or hubs. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
