You'll want to check out this link where I've provided 1st hand pictures of the 2015 EcoBoost Mustang.

Enjoy, & you're welcome.

I was VERY impressed.

Maybe one of these years Ford will get the wheel offset right. Doesn't look like that time has come yet. I'm a big fan of the '15, but that one is pretty ugly IMO.

Dat interior, doe!

Did they have to spell out "revolutions per minute" on the tach lol

My thoughts exactly!

It only took 20 years but they finally decided to put the ABS control module back next to the damn brake master cylinder instead of down underneath the air filter assembly. But the rest of it makes me glad I just bought a '14.

The interior blows you away. The driving stance is superb as well.

Weird to see a 4 banger in a Mustang again.

I dead set against it, but I'm becoming curious. FRPP just released a tune for the 2.0 that increased torque by quite a lot. Made me wonder what the 2.3 woudl do.

Dude I'm sorry but that thing looks horrible. Wrong offset on the wheels, looks clumsy and the "ground speed" and actually spelling " revolutions per minute" are blowing my fucking mind.

 

[HEMI LOL]

i think the brembo cars will look more on point with offset.

the car looks amazing, totally in love with the 15.

I know. I don't get why they do that. My buddy has a 2013 gt/cs and the CS wheel offset looks like they need a 3" spacer to make them flush... Lol My other friends 14 gt 18" weren't as bad but still not right. Some day maybe they will get it right.

When checking my rear axle to center it with the adjustable panhard, the front of my center caps are almost 2" inside of the fender line.

Wow!

They are nice looking wheels they just really effed up the offset.

I love the tailights and rear panel on the 15's. Interior is awesome.

Too bad you guys bitching about offset don't have any idea what you are talking about. Offset is NOT a styling decision it is an engineering decision to optimize the position of the tire on the ground with the wheels turned and in deflection and extension. The only time it doesn't matter is with wagon axles like on the previous Mustang rear end.

Yeah..... Don't care. It looks dumb.

Understood but why does every other performance sports car not have the wheels 3 inches inside the fender well? They can all engineer a car for both looks and function and ford can't with the Mustang. Plus you never see any track cars with the wheels that far off correct?

What previous rear end since Ford has been using the same 8.8 rear end since 1979?

Or are you referring the IRS and if so did the 03/04 Cobra's with the IRS have the same offset issues?

Ordered mine yesterday

just fucking with ya

 

[fdjizm]

Are you going to not drive it as much as your current Stang?

Nobody posting in this thread would buy a new 2015 Mustang and leave the wheels stock anyway, so why does it even matter? Wheels, AB exhaust, and lowering springs are the first mods to go on any Mustang in this crowd.
