19-inch Motegi Track Touge - 3/18/2007 8:19:48 AM

Status: offline My car is a white 2005 Mustang GT. I found these wheels on the Tire Rack website and I love how they look! I am planning on getting the 19x9 front wheels and 19x10 rear wheels. For tires, I am going to purchase Toyo Proxes T1R's. Here are the planned sizes: F- 255/40/ZR19 and R- 285/35/ZR19. These should look totally unbelievable right???

I have a few questions concerning the wheels:

1. Will the machined lips be a staggered fit? Or are the front and rear wheel lips identical in terms of how deep they are? I have read that a 45mm offset in the rear and a 36mm offset up front will produce a staggered fitment for these widths. I couldn't find the offset for these wheels on your website.

2. Do these wheels need any special tools to tighten the bolts? The bolts look smaller than the factory ones. Another member on this forum warned me that these "smaller" bolts are open to the elements and will rust easily. I have no idea about this issue.

Thanks for your help!

you will need to get "splined" lug nuts, they have a tool that slides over the outside of the lug. DO NOT GET THE LUGS WITH AN OPEN HOLE IN THE END!!!!

Use a set of these lug nuts

The Togue is a very nice wheel, I sold several sets of that exact wheel and it is one of my favorites. the 9/10 will have a nice staggered look and you will be very happy with them.

Status: offline Thanks AdderMk2. I want a staggered look like your car has with the deeper dish on the rear wheels.

Do you know if these Track Touge wheels are much heavier than my stock 17's? I may be getting 3.73 gears to compensate for any loss of performance due to heavier/larger wheels. I'm not going 4.10's because someday I want to get a Kenne Bell.
