Theres lots of talk about offsets and all but I think one thing that is missing is the pad height of the brembo package. Two wheels with the same offset but not enough brake caliper clearance one might fit and the other might not. So does anyone know exactly what the caliper diameter is from the center of the hub and how much it sticks out from the face of the hub?

You're more likely to find out directly whether a given wheel will fit the Brembo package than get the profile of the back side of the wheel and determine for yourself whether it will fit. It may take a little effort.

Fitment over the larger brakes has been a known issue since the GT500 with 18 x 9.5" wheels came out, and there may be some information somewhere around.

I was thinking more along the line of those templates brake companies sell to make sure your wheel fits over their big brake kits. That might be useful for something like this.

Just joined the forum. Impressed so far with the abundance of info on the new breed 5.0's. REALLY want to replace my Brembo 19's with the black ones. Anyone wanna trade? hehe

Does anyone know what the centerbore size of the mustangs are?

70.5mm i think?

JP455

70.6 to be exact...

starbai

Lol Great..

I've litereally read on these forums (through searching) eveything between 70.1 through now 70.6.

70.1, 70.2, 70.3, 70.4, 70.5, 70.6 --- each one of those have been mentioned at least once lol

JP thanks for the post, but how positive are you?

Benjamin T

ugh. sorry i did not mean to post incorrect information... 70.5mm was what my local H&R dealer told me over the phone when i asked about their TRAK spacers.

what are you planning to do starbai? you're not changing your wheels are you? because if you are i'm going to be allll over them like a dirty shirt lol.

Well right now, my girlfriend has a Genesis Coupe, Grand Touring model, came with nice 18's, but not the track models' gorgeous 19's.

The car needs new tires soon, so the idea is put my factory Mustang Wheels, 19" Brembo wheels, and instead of buying new 18" tires for her wheels, buy the correct tires needed for her car to keep the rolling diameter the same (lower profile) onto her car. Will be getting the genesis wing pkg center caps for them.

I'm looking for hub center-bore because the Gen Coupe is 67.1, I was hoping the mustang was larger or the same size, and so now that I know it is, hub rings from justforwheels.com with an inner diameter of 67.1 and outer diameter of 70.5 should be all I'd need. Both cars are 5x114.3

But need to really confirm 70.5 is accurate before I place an order.

I'll just leave her 18"s in the garage as a 'spare set' for either of our cars.

I'm glad you said that about my Shelby Razors, beacuse I'm working on doing something special with Vossen Wheels, and may have these up for sale soon... If you're interested at all, let me know and I will keep your name on a list for when I'm ready to do this in a month or so. Unless you're motivated, in which case we can talk
