Zajac, I apologize for any issues you may have experienced. I have not heard of this coming up with any other customers, however I would like to push your feedback over to the GangUp.com team to ensure it does not happen in the future. Were you able to finalize your pledge?

I pledged some time ago. I did receive my notice from Gangup that I was billed for a set of 18x11 wheels and the ordered wheels arrived less than 5 days later. Thank you....a nice buy.

I know my 19x11s are on order and expect to receive them soon. I suspect it took a bit longer because I ordered them mounted with Michelin PS4s and with the metal stemmed TPMS sensors.

@gtorpedo - those look great on your car.

Put on my Apex 19x11s and was a bit surprised at how much sticks out with my 305/30-19 Pilot Sport 4S tires. The rear looks fine but since I needed clearance on the front with 25MM spacers, these things stick out a lot more that I thought.

But overall, I'm digging them.

Very nice! How much negative camber do you have dialed in here? As Drew mentioned, a healthy amount of negative camber is definitely apart of the equation when running 11" wheels and 305 tires up front. Not only does the negative camber help bring the wheel/tire back under the front fenders of a non-GT350 Mustang, it is more importantly essential for consistent tire wear and maximizing your contact patch throughout the corners.

Edit: Looks like you are running -2 degrees up front. -3 degrees or more would be ideal :D

Can't wait to hear your impressions after you get a chance to put the car through its paces!

Running -2 up front. Not sure how much more I can squeeze out of the MM CC Plates but I'll try.
I did drive it around for about 20 miles and one thing I can feel the different is the contact with the road.

I'm looking forward to taking her out to High Plains Raceway to take her through the paces.

Buss driver and Voodoo are right. Check clearance to the strut. I'm using 20mm spacers on my 18x11 Apex wheels with the same offset. 5mm clearance to the strut should be adaquate. I originally tried a 15mm spacer but that just gave me about 1mm, with 20mm I have 6mm clearance.

Edit:
After looking closer at your tires, 20mm spacer may not work because those are some wide 305s! Lots of SW bulge. Even with my 305 slicks, the rim has been the widest part and where I measured from

How much clearance do you have between your tire and strut? Can you run a smaller spacer?

Finding about 3mm - maybe 4mm at the most. It's almost as if the tires stick out about the same width of the spacer. I do have DBA T-3 4000 slotted rotors and FRPP wheel hub and race studs (M-1104-A).
