Wheels that will clear GT350R brakes

[tripp]

I've searched the forum some, but it seems like not too many people have used the GT350R kit that Ford Performance sells. Aside from the GT350 and 350R wheels, does anyone have any insight as to wheels that will clear this setup? Looking to install on a GT and not have front wheels sticking out past the fenders. Thanks in advance for any help...

Thanks for the info. That CF5V is gorgeous. Guess I need to send you an email.

Good amount of options, we just did similar for a UK customer on Forgestar's

What about the specs that LMR recommends, +35mm 10" fronts and +60mm 11" rears?

I have the P51 in the 20" size. 10" +35mm front and 11" +50mm rear. The fronts are ok but the rear has a very slight poke (about 5mm). I would have liked to go with the 55mm offset but I don't think the spokes would clear the rear caliper.

Our 19" EC-7 and SM-10 wheels clear the GT350 Brembo kits with about twice the barrel clearance compared to the factory setups. 19x11" ET26 and 19x11" ET52 are a direct fit front and rear and will sit flush at each end with no poke. As a bonus, all of our 19" wheels are on sale up to 20% off right now through the end of the month.

Would the gt350 calipers work on 19x9.5 et30 front and 19x11 et56 rear?

It all comes down to the design of the wheel, not just the size. Some companies use a tapered (cheap) barrel design which limits clearance, and then also flat spokes (again, cheap) that don't offer great caliper face clearance. You'll need to ask the manufacturer if they've done testing. Hopefully they have.

If you look on LMR they have adapter brackets to put gt350 calipers on base mustang spindles. You can print out a template of the profile, trace it on cardboard, insert into the center hub of the wheel and check clearance. Most 19" barrels will clear but the spokes are the killjoy. Then you can decide if maybe a spacer and longer studs will get you the clearance you need without swapping wheels. Just a thought.
