Those aren't LMR wheels (SVE) those are Velgens. Completely different animal. I like those though.Bought a LMR package, spot on . Lowered 1.5 no rub . But not 19 but 20 .
As soon as you lower with coilovers you're changing the stock geometry considerably, things like roll center and such. On my 100% stock suspension I have about 3/4 of an inch of clearance between the top of the my 285/35/19 wheels up front and the body of the strut.So I have an ecoboost, not sure if/how the suspension may differ from a GT. For the summer I am running 285/35 in the front and 325/30 in the rear. I am lowered using coilovers. I do not have any issues with rubbing, but I do have fabric covers on the coils to protect them and on one side in the front I have noticed that the tire has rubbed a hole in the fabric. It makes it hard for me to believe that at least on my car this setup would've been okay with the stock suspension, as from what I can remember, I think my coilovers are much more compact in diameter than the stock springs/shocks. By the way, I have Project 6GR wheels, and this is a size that I found many people were going with so my guess is it should work.
In the course of lowering you are also blowing Ford's $50M+ of suspension design, materials selection, endless testing and calibration for an aftermarket $10K in design, testing and calibration....and still have screwed geometry until spend another $2K to hopefully get it right.
Sometimes looks are everything though haha.
Sure, but he's right that for suspension in particular, most changes the end user makes are worse, not better (unless all you care about it looks). The only way to do it right is to get a kit like the Ford Performance track kit. At least that way you're changing almost everything at once to compliment each other.Hmmm you do know the same can be said for any single change you make to the vehicle. There are compromises in anything....that means from Ford also. Ford builds to what they believe will be best for
"the general customer", as do all manufactors.
I have a 19 Mustang GT PP1 AutoSo I am looking to put new wheels and tires on my 2021 CS/GT. I am looking at some SVE wheels from LMR, but I have seen a bunch of reviews about the Nittos they have with the wheels and think I can do better with Michelin or Firestone or even Generals. The thing is, when I look at the LMR wheel and tire combo, they show 19x10s with 285s on all four. Or, they show 19x10 and 19x11 with 285 front and 305 rear.
The stock S550 in my garage has PzeroNero 255 30r 19s.
Tire rack says that 19x10 is too big for the fronts and that 285s will rub.
LMR is selling the wheels with 285s on them so I have to assume they are not going to rub.
The question is...who is right?
What aftermarket wheel/tire combos are YOU running, and are you getting any rubbing issues with larger than 255 front/rear?
What is the widest rear tire you can run without rubbing or a lot of poke? I would like to go with the 19x10 + 19x11 wheel combo with 285/305 or maybe 315 but since this is a purchase I cannot return, I don't want to get burned.
Opinions please! Facts are even better!
Thanks!
