Winter wheels and tires

[m3kerry]

I will use my stock ecoboost wheels handling package and put some all seasons on. ExtremeContact Sport has worked well in the past.

Motegi tend to run small. So make damn sure tire rack gaurentee fitment over the large brakes. The bluzzacks in 275/40 are 200 each

That’s good to know they run small. The Motegi website itself says those particular wheels don’t fit the GT PP, which is why I’m reluctant. TireRack says they do fit, and CarID says the 18” option even would fit, which I feel like is definitely wrong. These websites being all over the place is driving me crazy, I’m not sure what will and won’t work. But that sale on those Blizzaks is what is making me consider all this right now.

I'm in the same boat, though I'm non HP. Sites are not helpful if you put in Mach 1 as the car, but from what I'd seen GT PP is same specs as Mach 1 for wheel fitment and you guys here have more confirmed that. I'm definitely looking to go cheapest functional route, and also squared stance to do some rotation between seasons.

I’m running 19x8.5 with 245 45 r19. This is probably about as good as it gets for Mustang snow tires.

Which wheels did you get? I'm slightly hesitant about offset with picking random ones that size, but if someone tells me what they got that worked I'd def consider. I imagine any wheels tirerack says work with GT PP would be fine for Mach 1, just the fact that they by default still show staggered stance only throws me off and makes me a little more hesitant.

My winter wheels are AMR wheels, but applying the filters below at tirerack.com will almost certainly result in a working vehicle.

Weird how Americanmuscle says those won't fit in your screenshot. I see now in my list of things I came across before I fully committed to my order is a set of AMR 19x8.5 wheels ( https://www.americanmuscle.com/black-amr-19x85-2015.html ) on there that it says fits Mach 1. I was never sure about trusting that right away but now knowing more so GT PP fitment is same as Mach 1. I do see now in the answers they said to a 2017 GT PP they will fit no issues - so these likely gonna be what I go with.

Another good set I found to fit I think are BOSS 302S 19x9, though pricier.

These wheels do not fit by the way.

Yeah I was worried about fitment as a lot of websites had wheels that would say fit the GT but not Mach 1. Didn’t really want to risk anything so I ended up getting a set of the base Mach 1 wheels from Levittown Ford. The price of the set honestly is very good, especially considering it includes the tpms sensors as well. Maybe not the absolute cheapest option out there which is ok knowing the quality should be good and the fitment is close to certain with what you’re getting. They’re a bit wider than what I would have like to run as far as snow tires, but hopefully I won’t find myself in a situation where I need to drive in too much.

I'm probably gonna end up buying some pricier wheels that I know for sure will fit, this just makes it hard to trust the bigger sites. What makes it a little harder also is I already have 245/45/19 pirelli winter sottozero tires I bought thinking these wheels would fit so I need to find wheels for this size. I'd really like to go squared stance for the winter for rotating the wheels, and it's sooo frustrating sites like tire rack and discount tire are like oh your stock size is staggered? we can't show anything more than staggered wheels. I'd think that any of the front wheels in the staggered sets would fit all around, but now I don't really trust they'd fit even in the front.

Which wheels specifically didn’t fit and in which way?

Yup, I completely agree. I don’t get why those sites aren’t smart enough to give you the option to select if you don’t want staggered or want something different than the stock sizes. That being said, I’m pretty sure you should be able to find something to fit those tires, you may just end up needing to use spacers if the offsets are a bit off.

So I want to see if anyone can help me out here. I want to keep the cost of a set of winter wheels and tires to a minimum, preferably under $2k. I feel like the easiest and cheapest option is to get a package deal through something like TireRack where the tires will be mounted for free. The problem is that when you put Mach 1 w/ HP, only one wheel option shows up and it's almost $800/wheel, which I just do not want to spend. I wanted to see if there were other possibilities, so I entered GT performance package, and more options showed up. So my question is will these also work on a Mach 1 with HP? I do not see why it wouldn't, because I thought the brakes and everything were the same at the GT PP. I will attach a link with the wheels I am looking at, does anyone know if they would work?

I run my winter (cold weather, not snow) tires on these. Pretty good value, I believe, and should fit up just fine on your Mach 1, too.

I bought a set of the base 5-spoke Mach 1 wheels for winter and painted them gloss black. You could get a set of those wheels with TPMS for $930 from Levittown and then a set of winter tires from Simpletire if you don't mind different brands front and back.

I actually got that set as well! Not going to repaint them or anything though. It seemed like a good deal and I know they will fit. I’m actually going with square tire size on this staggered set up. Kind of weird I feel like, but shouldn’t be a problem as front and back rims are only 1/2” different.
