What Size Wheels Are Best for Your Mustang?

[@victorxavier9977]

20" wheels look great but have a harsh ride unless your roads are flat and smooth. Where I live the roads suck so honestly I won't go larger than a 19" wheel.

My 2022 Roush Mustang with the 3rd Pedal 6 Speed Manual Transmission. Came with the 16.5 inch Rotors & Footlong Brembo Calipers therefore, it needed 20" inch wheels to accommodate the clearance on the Calipers Sometimes you have no choice 🤷

[@LMach1]

I run thin 20 inch with all seasons for the winter months. Gives me the extra ground clearance needed. That said, I do prefer my track package wide 19 inches for the remainder of the year; as you stated, much smoother ride.

I’m definitely not a fan of huge wheels and I want some sidewall for ride quality on my convertible, I like the 19’s in a square configuration for the ease of maintenance and being able to bring a spare wheel and tire on trips that would fit any end of the car.

totally agree on this 19s are def the best setup for hard track use with lagre brakes Im running on my Heavly modified GT cs5 shelby 19x11 square for track use with cup 2 325/30r19 and so far its the best setup ever for street I use the same cs shelby but the stagered setup running ps4s 285/35r19 and 325/30r19 complemente with steeda in inch front spacer and steeda lightweight rotors on a brembo caliper. Disclaimer, Im running a GT350 wide fenders to fit the wider tires comftable but you can run them with a bit of camber on the stock gt fenders. hope this helps!

[@DirectionlessStudent]

20s are too rough on my ass. I want to be able to enjoy the ride. I go with the 19s in: 255/40ZR-19 (8.5) up front and 285/35ZR-19 (9.5) rear. No modifications to a standard S550 necessary.

I always believed a little bit of sidewall is the best combo of looks and performance. I had 19" 40series on my '05 with Eibach suspension and it looked awesome and handled like a completely different car from stock.

[@stopslowlyman10]

Great video what will u recommend for a stock s650 ecoboost . For performance 19 or 20 for street in style

[@razerginn]

17s for performance, 18s for performance and looks

[@JROC734]

20's, and some Mudstain wheels look great from the factory. PP2 wheels, GT350R/GT500 CF wheels for example. Boss 302 LS also look great, and in no way need replacing. Ford Generally sizes Mustang wheels 1" too small. Terminator, 07-09 GT500, for example. Some OEM wheels are butt F'in fugly. 15+ PP1 wheels is an example of this.

[@arashdm2126]

Nice Video! I’m interested to put 20x11 in the rear and 19x10 in front my question is does this set up void the warranty and if so what’s the set up which won’t harm the warranty?(stock wheels are 19x8.5 all around)

[@ZackNakazora1]

autox cheat but like with the Miata's in ES... run the ecoboost brakes and smaller 17s and reduce your sidewall for a little gearing change ( i dont actually recommend this but this is one extreme case smaller is better) also 17s are cheaper than 19s . love seeing the 18s on the road course cars. proper!

[@steedaautosports]

Good idea, however, It can be a catch-22 with that combo. Depending on how quick that autocross course is, you may want the larger brakes to slow the car down as these Mustangs are quite a bit heavier than a Miata! We like the 18s because it allows us to keep the 6-piston Brembos up front! -Chris

[@rochperron3018]

for better performance is 18" the way to go or 19' with a 373 gear with 6r80

[@Subarashii-naniii]

Majority of s550 owners are concerned about Roll racing, so what wheel/tire specs is best? Thank you for this vid

[@steedaautosports]

Of course! I wouldn't veer too far away from your factory tire heights if you're roll racing to ensure you don't adversely affect your gearing/top speed. Outside of that, you could go honestly in any direction between 19" and 20" so long as you have adequate contact patch for rear tire grip. Hope this helps! -Chris

[@derosam69]

What about if you go to the drag strip pretty frequently but want to drive on the road/curvy roads?

[@VistaBlueGT]

I'm so confused. You mentioned that with the PP1 package on S550's, you can fit 18" wheels with the 6-piston Brembo's with 15" rotors. I just purchased the Ford Performance 6-Piston Brembo package that comes on the PP1 S550's for my base model 2016 GT and the web site clearly states no smaller than 19" wheels?

Love your content. I have a 2023 GT 5.0 performance pack one brand new car I do like the looks of the stock performance pack wheels but would like to get wider rubber all the way around the car I know I have six pistons upfront for calipers. Not sure what the rear is, not planning on racing at the track but looking for street performance and looks ( cars and coffee ) should I stay with the 19 offset or go with square? I think I would like to change my rims so that I could see more of these beautiful Brembo calipers just need some advice and maybe some different package options you could offer me, don’t understand why Mustang doesn’t offer these calipers for the year 2023 ( s550 ) in colors. If I want a color caliper do I have to pull calipers off send them out to be painted? Please help. DAVE 60 yrs old live in Maine.

[@steedaautosports]

Hello, the tire sizes that come with the performance pack are the widest that we would recommend on the factory wheels. If you aren't planning to race the car on track, there really isn't a reason to go with a square setup, staggered would be the way to go. Obviously the style and diameter is up to you, but either a 19x10/19x11 or 20x10/20x11 would be able to fit a 275 wide tire up front and 315 in the rear. As for the brakes, because you already have the Brembos, the best way would be to remove them or take the car to a paint shop to be professionally painted.

However, I may go with a different rim wider tires as you described keeping a 19 inch and open the space up so that the calipers are more visible these original performance pack wheels cover up the calipers ..

I need to find a better looking wheel keeping the same size rim/tires but lighter in weight. Been looking at the Trident rims but I am searching for lighter wheels to lessen the fat weight on the car. I found out that I saved 36 pounds by ordering the Recaro seats over the leather heated/cooled seats. So I could use some assistance if you know of a lighter wheel that what comes with the Dark Horse. Thanks Chris‼️👍💪😎🛞🇺🇸

[@steedaautosports]

Hi there! Thanks for the kind words. I'd look into Apex wheels if I were you. On the 2024s, you won't be able to fit anything smaller than a 19" wheel if you have the Brembos. With that said, you have a few options from Apex Wheels. In their flowform lineup, you can go with a 19x11 ET52 all the way around with a 1" spacer up front - allowing you to run a 305 or 315 square. Their EC-7 in that size comes in at 24.5 lbs. I'm not sure what the new Dark Horse Handling Pack wheels weigh, but the S550 GT Performance Package wheels weigh 33 lbs for comparison. -Chris www.steeda.com/apex-race-parts

[@DominicPettifer]

What about 20” wheels but go roll forge/flow formed, or fully forged, you’d get the benefit of larger contact patch and less rotational mass surely? Also is it necessary to keep the overall tire width the same when going 20”? There’s room in those wheel arches.

[@steedaautosports]

Of course, that's always an option! But if you go fully forged 18" or 19" that's still less rotating mass than a fully forged 20" :) All the wheels mentioned in this video are already flow formed which help quite a bit with weight while keeping price in-check. Hope this helps! -Chris

hello very informative video! Im looking around for a wheel and tire setup currently I have a mustang ecoboost with oem 18 inch wheels. I would love to go with 19 inch wheels preferably what you mentioned in the video 19x10 with 275-35 tires front and 19x11 with 305-35 tires in the rear . I was wondering if there would be any issues if I ran that set up on my ecoboost? is there a difference between the mustang gt that factors into running this set up or will I be able to run this set up on my eco boost? Also I got a bit confused when you mentioned that the speedometer measures off the rear wheel what did you mean by that and will that be something I need to look out for?

[@steedaautosports]

All of this info is for the EcoBoost as well! If you have the performance package, you would have the 13.9" brakes from a GT, but you're wanting 19s so clearance is not an issue regardless. For the speedometer, if the overall height of your 19" wheels and tires are taller than factory, then you will be driving slightly faster than what your speedometer is reading. You want to get a tire with a smaller sidewall as close to the factory height. There are tire size calculators online you can use with your factory size to see what you would need to match with a 19". Alternatively, if you have a tuning device you should be able to input a new tire size and the speedometer will account for that.

Now these wheels were expensive but the look and the custom back spacing, combined with custom powder coat,, did the trick for me. Also custom wheel size meant no spacers needed.
