We've been supplying 19x10s, 18x10s and 18x11s for the S550 already. The fitments are NOT the same as the S197, so if you are just going to use an S197 wheel on the S550 prepare for it to rub.

We have tested all of the S197 wheels we keep around (18x10, 18x11F, 18x11R, 18x12F, 18x12R) and almost none of the S197 fitments work on the 2015. If there's already a cheap/heavy wheel out for the S550 I would be highly skeptical of them fitting inside the fenders or not rubbing the strut without spacers.

My wheels are from a 2009 GT500. They fit just fine with a 305 on the back.

I've seen numerous people running S197 offsets on these cars with zero issue. Had a customer who stopped in with S197 20x11 forgestar on the rear of his S550 and no issues. Is it just 18" wheels?

what are the offsets everyone's running? having a set made with custom offset and looking to go DEEP, I was thinking +50 in the rear?

I have +40 on my 10.5 wide Rennen R5 rear, and I think it is perfect. Right at the fender edge and does not stick out with 295/35-20 Invos. No rubbing with stock Saleen Racecraft suspension (Bilstein/Eibach) My stock Saleen wheels were +50, and I didn't think they were aggressive enough. Those were 10 inch wide rears with 275/40-20 Pirelli P-Zeros

Idk how popular 21s will become, just not enough tire selection for most people to make the jump from 20.

They do look sick though

Same thing happened with 19's, now look at all the different tire sizes for them. Many OEM's are going to 21" wheels too.

I think the 21's look PERFECT on the red one. The whole car is done with perfection IMO.
