Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / May 200519" wheels on an '05 mustang?
Guys, I'm thinking of putting 19"x9" wheels on my '05, with 1" of rubber... Total will be 20", which should be the same as my 17's with 3" of rubber... Anyone know if they will fit well? Also, do I need a brake upgrade at that point? > I'm thinking of putting 19"x9" wheels on my '05, with 1" of rubber... Ouch. Now *those* are rubber band tires...

I think it will look ghetto - so it really depends what kind of look you are going for. Also tires will cost you a lot more now (a lot more) especially for a car that is supposed to be a cheap (in price only) sports car. Those $$ are better spent on performance mods (IMHO). Now regarding brakes, unless you are doing power mods, there should be no reason to upgrade them. Or is it just for the look? Musty. For the look... I'm also looking at putting in a GT engine, so performance may be an issue soon too. >> Guys, >> I'm thinking of putting 19"x9" wheels on my '05, with 1" of rubber... [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Musty. I did not realize that this was a V6. Now, I have to ask this question, if you have a 2005 Mustang V6 and you're going to be putting extra $$ on 19" wheels, 19" rubber, upgraded brakes and a GT engine, would it be a better to at this point sell your V6 and buy a GT. If you do the math (parts, labour etc), you may find out that buying a GT might be cheaper. Just my $0.02. Musty. > For the look...

The whole reason I bought the V6 was because of the engine, I'm not putting a Mustang GT engine it... Ive got a shop working on shoehorning the engine from the ford GT into it:) No sense buying the GT engine just to tear it out. >I did not realize that this was a V6.

Just personal opinion here, I don't think there will be any shoehorning going on at all. Moving the electric fans, yes but the modular engine, if that is what you are talking about looks like it will just slide right in without problem. The 6.8L V-10 in my work van looks just like the engine in my Vert, just longer. The suspension systems will need to be addressed due to the extra weight and power though. ...Ron -- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert The length is an issue, theres some firewall modification thats going to have to be done, the battery is being relocated to a trunk box, and the gas tank is being swapped for a cell. The fans have to all move, and theres a hood clearance issue, which is what convinced me to get the eleanor kit -- the hump in the hood takes care of that problem. >>The whole reason I bought the V6 was because of the engine, I'm not >>putting [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > 88' Firebird Formula > 00' Mustang GT Vert I see. Yeah, you'll need some bigger brakes and probably quite a few other upgrades.

The suspension on the V6 is different than the V8, you are going to have to change out the K-member, struts, and springs. May as well spend a few extra bucks and go with a tubular k member and coil-overs. > For the look... I'm also looking at putting in a GT engine, so performance > may be an issue soon too.

I was looking at using the tranny thats in the GT, but its MASSIVE. Ford racing has one that works, but its a 6 speed/overdrive, and kinda pricy. So the shop is still looking around. > Sweet, what are you going to use as a tranny? > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >>>>> >>>>> Musty. >Thats still undecided...

The TKO 6 speed I believe can handle up to 600 hp and the price I think is around $1,900. ...Ron -- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert The shop thats doing the engine work is estimating ~850HP at the wheel when everything is said and done. I'm having them go all out and build it to perform. I'll take a look at the TKOs. >>Thats still undecided...

Also, don't forget to install an ultra-fat muffler tip, so you can intimidate Honda CRXs with that patented chili-bean-fart rumble. |
