Best Mustang Wheels

Reducing the sidewall height can also make your suspension feel less floaty. Some double dip in both performance and looks by opting for a staggered setup. Wider wheels in the back than in the front. When changing the diameter of your wheels, such as going from 17s to 18s on the back, you’ll have to correct your speedometer since you’re messing with how the computer perceives speed. This is easily achieved by utilizing a tune for OBD2 Mustangs. Aftermarket wheels also tend to be lighter, reducing the strain on your engine and indirectly freeing up horsepower.

In terms of style there are a variety of ways to compliment your aesthetic. Chrome is a popular option for those looking to make a statement, while aluminum is more subdued. There are painted options for color matching especially for those going for the blacked out look. You can opt for the classic Bullitt style rims, a solid five spoke design or even a deep dish wheel. Deep dishes set the wheel face deeper and increase the depth of the lip. This reduces the risk of curb rashing the wheel face, but also makes the wheel look even wider. Consider changing out the center caps for even further customization.
