Whether you're looking to freshen up the appearance of your street car, or gain a few seconds on track, our guide provides both wheel size and tire size recommendations, along with suspension setups, for your scenario. Browse through options available in our Flow Formed wheels like the EC-7 and SM-10, or take a look at our Forged wheels such as the VS-5RS, SM-10RS, or EC-7RS.
Chassis Introduction For 2024, the Mustang underwent a full update inside and out. Dubbed the S650 chassis, this generation is more of a refresh of the previous S550 than a whole new car. Taking suspension parts from the top of the line S550 models, mixing in revised interior layout and improved materials, this new Mustang carries on its iconic legacy without skipping a beat. Despite the revisions, the S650 shares mostly the same wheel specs as the S550.
Brake Clearance Note GT's equipped with Performance Package brakes and all Dark Horse models cannot run 18" wheels, 19" and larger diameters are required. Select Forged 18" wheels will clear with spacers, but it tends to push the wheel too far outside the fender to work properly.

Whether you enjoy spirited street driving or you're a weekend track warrior chasing lap times, these wheel & tire configurations are ideal for S650 Mustang owners looking for a more dramatic improvement in performance. They are typically paired with performance oriented summer tires or track oriented R-compounds and this category includes both staggered and square configurations to best suit each individual drivers priorities, goals and preferences for their vehicle.
We've optimized the offset of our wheels to work well with the stock fenders, however, a wide variety of tire compounds can be used and some may require negative camber to fit properly. See fitment notes under each tire configuration below to see if modifications are required. If you plan to track your S650 Mustang, we highly recommend dialing in negative camber regardless of whether your wheel/tire fitment requires it for fender clearance. Negative camber is vital for extracting the most performance and longevity out of your tires, and without the proper amount the outer shoulders of your tires will wear out prematurely and running tire costs will dramatically increase.
Square Configurations Recommended for enthusiasts that want to mitigate understeer, improve turn-in, and rotate tires front & rear for extended life.

Hardcore Track Wheel Fitment
Track focused fitments that require significant modifications
Ford Mustang S650
These wheel and tire configurations are best suited for hardcore track junkies and club racers that prioritize performance above all else on their S650 Mustang. With these wheels everything from extreme summer tires to full racing slicks are commonly used depending on your experience behind the wheel, class rules, etc.
Additional negative camber is strongly encouraged to maximize performance and tire longevity, and some of the more aggressive fitments will absolutely require it to prevent rubbing under suspension compression. Even with the appropriate amount of negative camber dialed in, some of the more extreme fitments can still scrub the liners under suspension compression and/or when turning the steering wheel to full lock. This is par for the course when pushing the limits of wheel and tire fitment. These fitments are not for someone who primarily will use this wheel setup on the street or in inclement weather.

Whether you are a casual weekend track warrior that still enjoys your car on the street, or a hard core racer competing for a spot on the podium, negative camber is a vital part of chassis setup that has many benefits. Not only will adding negative camber create more room for wider wheel and tire configurations, it more importantly improves handling, turn-in and tire longevity.
