Mach 1 Wheels on S650 GT- Fitment Questions

[Nik691]

I am late to this thread, but I am running the OEM PP2 wheels and can confirm that they are rubbing very slightly. Car is on the identical FP setup. S65T springs and FP track pack struts. Just put some touch up on the marks until I figure out the best way to fix it. It irks me to roll fenders on a car that isn’t old.

Yes. Lowering the car with those wheels is danger zone for rubbing.

Yeah and I also don’t want to get stuck throwing a ton of money trying to fix the problem either. I had an alignment scheduled for this weekend, but then I read that the 650s camber can’t be adjusted without plates. Whether camber plates fix it, lower aspect tire, etc. Just bad timing

Yes- both Ford Performance and LMR verify the fix for this is the Dark Horse Camber Plates which are what come stock on the DH HP in order to run this exact setup in terms of wheel size.

also I noticed you were not running the extended fender flares…

the key though is the camber plates and the camber during the alignment.

Honestly I think 10" fronts and 11" rears are the perfect set up. I would not go back to the HP wheels.

Even with camber plates, I rubbed SLIGHTLY with HP wheels and lowering springs. The worst part was scraping the bottom of the car on drivways and speed bumps. Going to 35 profile tires greatly helped. But I personally wouldn't do it again.

Well maybe we just run the camber plates and the M-18000-F strut package and call it a day. They are waiting to do the post 305 / 315 wheel tire alignment till tomorrow. Then I’m driving it to StangHi in Crowley for Cody to do what he does for the rest of it. I have all the other parts…

We will look and see and report back!

wheels are definitely but those Center caps have got to go.. ugh lol
