18s up front, 19s in the rear anyone?

[Lupo222]

On my old NSX, I had 19s in the back and 18s up front, kind of like some of the corvette's run, and I loved that look...

Was kinda thinking about trying it with the GT500 2010 black rims on my car...anyone out there running a similar set up and would there be any problems with running this? (ABS comes to mind?) And could you post some pics of this setup?? I'm not worried about being able to rotate tires as i run a staggered set right now anyways...

Thanks gents

PM GallopingFord to buy his SVTPP Wheels. 18" fronts, 19" rears. Looks killer.

I'll be doing that on my 01 and it should look ok but on a S197 it should look great.

It will look good. When do you get back??

I think there are some pics of that setup in the tire and wheels section.

Thanks! yea, I think with the big ass and the long front, 18/19 stagger would look super! I asked AM if they could price out a combo like that but haven't gotten a response. Guess I'll have to wait until I get back home

It will look good. When do you get back??

Soon! Leaving for Leatherneck in a few days and then the voyage begins! Should be back in early August, but then we're actually get 30 days of leave, so off to Florida. May take the Stang.

Gotta see if I can get someone around there to give me a hand with a new fuel pump on my twin setup to see if I can get the car running right and tuned before I leave.

keep the overall heights near stock and you have no ABS issues.

you're fine to run that set up

GT500 drag packs are 17"s front and 15"s rear. The SVTPP set ups are 19/20.

thanks...ive been searching for like 20 minutes and can't find any pictures of s197s with 18/19s or 19/20s..grrrrrrr

 

[stkjock]

look at any GT500 with the SVTPP wheels

19/20

 

[Lupo222]

yea, those are the wheels im looking to get too...i didnt know they came 18/19 staggered though...thanks!

 

[stkjock]

they are 19/20 as I listed above

 

[Sinner]

it's crazy that the 19/20 GT500 wheels look the same size actually

 

[brent_G]

Yeah i would have never guessed by looking at those pics...

I almost pulled the trigger on an NSX a few times but couldnt justify daily driving that car (maybe in the future). I know they run staggered wheels from the factory just like the corvette but there is a reason for this; weight bias, power, engine placement, etc. What are your plans for the mustang? DD, drag, road race?
