Wheel opinions

If you're rocking 19×8.5 & 5×4.5 and 42.5mm offset, what aftermarket wheels do you run and how good to they fit up ? Still trying to decide what to go with. Car is 2016 GT/CS 5.0 Race Red. Are replicas worth it or?

Go at least 9.5" if you're buying wheels

I want to get off of 19x all together tbh, they are a lot more expensive than 20s. If 9.5s are better than I might as well just get all new tires/wheels 20×9.5?

I personally like 19's over 20's

I finally bit the bullet and ordered offset 20's. Had my car 7 years and alway felt my 19's looked small in the arch. I was going to lower and put spacers on. But then decided to get wider 20's and with the wider offset rear.

I wanted a set of Rims from Project6 over there in LA. For me they look amazing on a mustang. They have differnt designs and a good price. Due to delay in deliveries etc I decided to buy from a UK wheel company and picked up some 2forge.

Wheels are so subjective. And I felt the same. But its been biting at me since I had the car. Personally I feel the 20's fit the overall size of the car and preffered stance. They fill out the arch and the lower profile tyres look more "racey" and the extra width is good for sharper cornering. This also depends on your preffered driving style.

Good luck with choosing. Once I decided it still took me 4 weeks before I took the plunge.

I'm running 20x10 square. With 35 offset. 285/35r20. No rub, closed the gap and could still lower if I wanted too.

20x10 +35 here. 285/35/20 tires

20’s will be a bit heavier than 19’s. Do you want a staggered or square setup? Tire sizes can be tricky for 19x11 if you 19” staggered. 305/35/19 is close to stock diameter but there is not much in the way of selection at that size

The size of the wheel doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to fill the wheel well any more. I run 17’s in the rear and it definitely fills it up.

After lowering it it fills in even more.

19 or 20, still x10" ET35 and a 285/35 tire works fantastic. You can rotate all four to even out tire wear and its a good amount of tire for the street ... assuming you put a good tire on it and not the cheapest nitto the online vendor give you a deal on. If you throw a 555G2 on there I'd rather have 9.5 with a much better tire.

Wheels just hold the tire on the car, the tire does the hard work, so don't skimp too much there.
