Yeah, cleaning the PP wheels did cross my mind in making the final decision. Good idea on ceramic coating!

Those look very nice! I almost went the same direction with my S650.

I agree the PP lip is minimalist. It should have been standard on the base cars. I want something a little bigger on my PP car. The PP spoiler is nice, though.

A buddy of mine with a Mach 1 HP went with Apex 19x11 et52 in back and 19x11 et26 up front. 305/30 on all four. It's his track set. Apex recommends additional negative camber up front with that setup. He kept the OEM wheels for the street.

Na, they reduce ground clearance in front and increase the risk of scraping. As long as law enforcement doesn't seem to care I'll rock one plate.

Not at all. Since the springs were installed I've driven the car spiritedly on curvy back roads, not all of them smooth, and didn't notice any bump steer issues. The ride is a little firmer in both normal and sport modes, but it's not a big difference. Normal mode actually feels better because...

A guy showed up to our cruise on Saturday with what I thought, from a distance, was a Dark Horse. Turned out to be an S550 with a Dark Horse front end. Hadn't seen that before. Unfortunately I didn't take a closeup of his car but here's a cropped group pic and another pic he posted on FB.

In Texas where I live not only are 2 plates required but the front one must be down in front. Displaying it in the windshield only draws attention to failure to comply with the rule, so I keep mine under the driver's seat.

Hopefully it's not possible. Seems like it would be a safety hazard.

Today I drove it on a 150 mile back road "cruise" where posted speed limits were sometimes obeyed. :wink: Always fun driving with fellow Mustang people.

Sounds like fun. NOT! Hope it works out well though.

Should be a '26.

Yeah I suspect you can't go with much more up front because of inside clearance to the strut. That's why the Dark Horse handling package wheels are 10.5 width with +24 offset. There might be a little more wiggle room with 285 tires, though.

I agree with that. But you said it would push the rear out more than an inch and "poke." 13 mm won't poke. (In what I posted before I used OEM PP wheel size of 9.5. Apparently the OP has the base Dark Horse wheels 10 inches wide on his GT.)

Here's the change from OEM. It's not more than an inch. It's a 20mm difference which is ideal.

I understand about the ride, but since you mentioned a supercharger I wondered if they were wider in back to accommodate wider tires.

Looks good! A refreshing change of pace to see more sidewall. I doubt I could fit 18s (except Apex) over my Brembos. How wide are the wheels?

Why do you want 10.5 wheel width if you're going with 285 tires? If you get 20x10 with an offset of 35-37 or so on all 4 you can rotate the tires front to back.

I did install camber plates in front as an abundance of caution but I'm not sure they were needed. Didn't do anything else. I know Steeda has a bump steer kit that's supposed to correct suspension geometry for lowered cars, but I don't think it's needed unless you go with more than 1 inch of drop.
