Winter wheels are mounted and ready!

[derieuz]

AMR Black 19x8.5 on 245/45/19 Blizzak LM32's, mustang gt pp is ready for donuts in the winter!

Update: They have been mounted for a few weeks, they fit but just barely. This should be a warning for anyone who thinks they can get along with cheaper, 18 inch rims. These were fairly reasonably priced (I purchased them on sale during labor day), and they barely clear. I have a GT with the Performance Package.

I am lucky that these fit, They might have 1/16 (.0625) of an inch clearance around the front brakes. Tire size is good, and the offset is a bit more aggressive. Overall, I am happy and hopefully I won't run into problems with the miniscule clearance I have.

The Blizzak LM32's so far are absolutely amazing in the cold, its about 35 Degrees average right now, they handle and grip just as well as the P-Zeros. They have absolutely no road noise, and do absorb bumps better. You have to remember that these are winter tires, you don't want to mash your foot to the floor or drive like a maniac with them, if they get warmer than 45-50 degrees; they start to get extremely pliable and the compound will melt. They are meant for an average of 45 degrees and below.

how do you know the wheels specs of the new 2015 mustang?

Are you certain 2014 wheel specs are similiar to 2015?

 

[dwaleke]

You can estimate based on the OEM wheel specs.

You can estimate based on the OEM wheel specs.

I did exactly that, I estimated, and calculated additional offsets etc. I also messaged the HRE forum account as they are pushing the limits of the wheel allowability, shoot them a PM and they can easily get back to you on if a certain wheel will fit.

The only unknown is whether you'll clear the PP calipers or not.

You'd think you would be ok with that design, but you never know until you put them on.

They easily clear the 2014 Shelby GT500 Brakes, should be fine.

Snow tires?....what are snow tires ?? lol


They look great though, a very nice set and they look just like the PP wheels.

What offset did you go with?

Also did you get tpms?

 

[dwaleke]

The 19x8.5 AMR wheels have a +30mm offset. Aggressive stance compared to OEM fitment, but should still sit nice with the fenders since they are only 8.5" wide.

Now all you need is a car to put them on.

Me too.
If the op doesn't mind and all works as planned I'd like to play copy cat.

Oh, OP, no issues with 2015 tpms or did you not get them ?

I got aftermarket TPMS, they are programmed to the codes/frequency of the factory rims and labeled for which wheel goes where, should be a swap and go.

Interesting do you have a link to the tpms product, does it mean you can't rotate the winters?

Like above post I think I am going to copy cat if these fit your car
