As someone who has had 2 s550s and an ss1le, my s650 is night and day so much better than my 550s.
It was hard to be confident coming in and out of turns in the 550. The 650 dramatically improved on this.
The steering rack may not communicate as much as I would like in the 650, but I can tell...
I think this will be the route I end up going. I reached out to Ford Racing to try my luck and they are completely discontinued with no stock left over :/
Looks like the wheels in the size I am looking for are no longer produced by Ford.
They still produce the 19x9.5/19x10, but I am looking for the 19x10.5/19x11.
If anyone knows where I could locate set, I’ve tried looking to no avail
1. Yes, stock/factory rims and tires were fine, no vibration.
2. The vibration/shake occurs from 50 mph to about 70 mph.
3. The vibration/shake is not felt from the wheel or the seat, it is a visible vibration/shake when you take both hands off the wheel. Nothing abnormal is felt.
4. Yes...
I honestly do think it has something to do with the wheel, the one has a long strip of weight on it. I appreciate it though, this has really been a headache. He told me to give it a day and drive it around for a little while because it may need to settle, but I haven’t heard that advice before...
It is vibrating very slightly at or around 50 mph and goes away after exceeding 70. It is noticeable with no hands present on the wheel. When my hands are on the wheel, I don’t feel anything that is an abnormal vibration. I would film it with my phone, but honestly the camera can’t even pick it up.
Well this will make it even more difficult lol. I wanted the mph to be as close as possible to the stock setup. The stock setup is 255/40r19 in the front, 275/40r19 rear. The steedas are 295/35r19 front, 305/35r19 rear
Update 2: Took the wheels and tires in, they threw them on the roadforce balancer and took me back so I could watch, everything checked out and the wheels themselves didn’t seem to have any pressing imperfections. They were out of balance and the one was 3 oz out of balance. They said that Ford...
I really should have been more thorough with having it checked, but with winter just ending, I was rushing to get them on and to enjoy the car. Now I’m paying for it lol. I’m really hoping it’s the tires and not the wheels
Yes and thank you! When I am able to get them up to the shop, I will have them remove both wheels from the tires to see. Gonna try and get up there tomorrow
I agree. I’m leaning more towards a wheel issue. Going to try and get these fronts up to discount tire and have them put back on the balancer to see.
I should probably start looking into if steeda will cover the wheel(s)
