Hey guys, new to mustangs. Just got a 2015 Mustang GT. Lowered on eibach sportlines. I want a square setup with 285s,or 275s all around. I need to get new 19" rims as the stock are only 8.5" wide. I need specifics on rims size and most importantly the offset you guys are using. I want the wheels to be flush with minimal wheel poke as the fender will be on that rim on every bump. What's the rims size and offset you guys are using and what tires? I'm looking Niche or similar prices rims. I want summer tires as this is my weekend all giggles ass hauler but must be able to handle rain.. Much appreciated on the help.. looking forward to joining the 'stang community.

Why are you wanting 19s? it makes finding tires a bit more difficult and expensive vs 20s.

Here's my car on 20s.

Wow.. very nice! 20s it is!! Lol..I'm guessing your running sportlines too? What's your wheel size, offset, and tire size? suggestions on decent summer tires(not super high end)? Thanks man..

I was on Steeda Progressive Springs.

And believe it or not you can buy my entire setup from LMR.

You can get a discount code from Dustin here on the forum, just check them out in the Vendor section!

Setup worked well, and looked nice. Would recommend.

Thanks for the link.. I'm looking for a custom setup not necessarily a out of the box one.. mostly because I'm on a budget.. but this is a good start.. it lets me know the clearances and your pics the look..let me do the math and I'll post my results. Good stuff!

I did the math.. tried to upload pic of it but said pic was too large.. basically to get your front wheel setup .. 79.3mm from hub to outer fender in a 9.5 inch tire I'd have to do a +42 offset. So I'm planning to go with:

KMC KM685 District Wheel/Rim - 19x9.5 - 5x114.3 - +42mm

But according to the math the rear is 9mm more protruded than the front.. since I'm lowered the +42 offset worries me that it will rub the fender with the wider tire..

Has anyone run a 19x9.5 +42 in the rear with 275/40r19 or 285/40r19?

Also.. anyone run a 275 on the front? What was your rims size and offset??

I'm sure this would help people looking for a grippy track setup.

I run a square setup with 275-40-19's all around.

Wheel specs:
Size: 19x9.5
Offset: +35mm
Backspacing: 6.63

I'm also lowered on BMR SP080 springs.

I have no issues at all. I may be changing to a 20" staggered setup soon though. I'm gonna buy 20" x 8.5" for the front running 255's, and 20" x 10" in the back running 295's.

I’m on sportlines with a 17x8 +35 in the back with a Hoosier 28x10x17 and it’s about as tight as the figment gets without rubbing. I can barely get a finger in the gap but still doesn’t rub even under full squat at the drag strip. And a surprisingly good summer tire is the firestone firehawk indy500 they’re about 166 each for the 265/40/19 that I have up front but they’re just on some gtpp wheels so no fancy fitment there. I run a toyo r888r in the back on the street on the same gtpp wheels and it hooks like a raped ape. Went 1.8 in the 60’ on the r888r with no alignment but they ain’t cheap
