I know its not the Silver wheel you were talking about, but here is one of my co-workers car with our 19" SVE's on his 2005.

Well, here's what the silver SVE's are going to look like on a Tungsten car. This is with 285/35-19's all the way around. I have a 1/1.5 inch drop. If it were any lower, because of the offset, the back tires would rub the wheelwell. If you go with a 275/35-19 you'll be fine with an even lower car. I'm thinking of changing over to a 275/40-19 when I need tires again.

I believe the rear tires are 305/35/19's MT's. I'm not sure what the fronts are, unfortunately. There were several different wheels and tires test fitted on that car, it's hard to keep track of them!

I like the staggered setup, especially for a Mustang, can't beat some fat rear tires, but I like the look of the SVE's, they look more concave, which is something we might be a little biased towards

- Option 1: The Silver AMR's

Rims:
19x8.5 w/ +30mm offsets in the front.
19x10 w/ +48mm offsets in the rear.
Tires:
TBD

- Option 2: The Silver SVE's
Link
Rims:
19x9.5 w/ +35mm offsets all the way around.
Tires:
275/35/19 - Nitto NT555's for all four.

I guess my main question is, which would have the better fitment of the two on the 05-09 mustangs. I have not seen very many photos of the RTR style rims on the 05-09's, so if anyone has any photos or suggestions as to which route they recommend I would greatly appreciate it.

Also tire recommendations for size and brand for the AMRs would be helpful as well, as the SVE's fit the preferred Nitto NT555, with 275/35/19's all the way around.




The car is a 2006 Tungsten Grey GT.

- Logan
I voted for the AMR's but simply because they are staggered. After having owned several stangs & currently owning 2 + driving the wifey crazy with MULTIPLE wheel purchases over the years, get a STAGGERED set. It make all the diff in the world!!! So like recommended above, pick your style & get it staggered!!! (PS I'm pretty sure the SVE's also come staggered if that it the final design you chose).

Good luck!!!!

I voted SVE's, as I'd go with four 19/9.5's over an 8.5 and 10 staggered setup, as you have more options that way. You can still run wider tires in the back if you want, or you could go with all four the same and rotate. Plus, the difference between 9.5 and 10 in the back isn't that huge of a difference.

However, you really can't go wrong with either. Both AM and LMR are good to work.

I think the Charcoal AMR's would look awesome on your car. Especially with the black stripe!!
