New Apex Wheels

[jglee920]

Hey folks,

Newbie here. I'm looking at Apex wheels for just autocrossing. I'm driving a 2014 Mustang GT. What size would you recommend? Stay with 19" or go to 18" for savings? Wide as possible? Square or Staggered? I'm looking at the EC-7's specifically. Appreciate any help.

Well, that depends on what class you're trying to run. If you're trying to stay in street class, the wheels need to be factory width offset (+-5mm) and can only be +-1" in diameter of the factory wheels.

I beleive the 2014 Mustang GT came with 18's on it?

18's are kinda the sweet size, and they have the most tire options, and the tires have a significant discount over the 19" tires when you buy tires. All ++++ in my book.

Grassroots Motorsports magazine web site has some good tire comparison info. Will help with selecting a brand. I ran Kumho 730 last year and was happy with them.

Thanks for the ideas Nick and MWenning. If I'm reading the rules correctly, I think I'm eligible for STU or CAM-C. It had some mods done to it before I bought it. I'm pretty set on the 18's now. I'll look into those Kumhos

Hey sorry I'm late to the party. I have a set of 18x11 ET52 Apex EC-7 in Anthracite and all the spacers to make them work for a 2014 GT. I no longer have my Mustang so I want them gone. You are more than welcome to test fit them and see if you like them. They have a set of ancient 315/30/18 BFG Rival S tires still mounted to them. I also have a supply of the weird go fast parts people have found over the years, like a V6 convertible rear bar as well as most of the parts needed to make it STU or a mild-prep CAMC.

These wheels do look very nice!
