Mustang Wheels & Tires Kansas City

Most modern Mustangs (S550 and S650) fit 19-inch and 20-inch wheels. Common staggered setups include 19x8.5 front / 19x10 rear and 20x9 front / 20x10 rear. The S197 (2005-2014) fits 18- to 20-inch wheels as well. Our team at American Fusion Wheels will verify fitment for your specific year and trim to ensure proper clearance with Brembo brakes, Performance Pack components, and factory suspension. Call us at 913-291-2027 for a free fitment consultation.

A staggered setup uses a wider wheel and tire in the rear than the front — for example, 19x8.5 front with 19x10 rear. This provides more rear grip, a more aggressive stance, and better acceleration traction. A square setup uses the same size on all four corners, which allows tire rotation and is popular for autocross and road course use. Most Mustang GT owners prefer staggered for the look and grip, while track-focused drivers often go square for even tire wear and rotation flexibility.

Popular choices include SVE drift wheels for a classic look, Project 6GR for lightweight performance, Velgen for aggressive concave styles, Forgestar for track use, and BC Forged for fully custom forged options. Niche and TSW offer great value with stylish designs. Rohana wheels are popular for the show-car look. Our team can help you choose based on your driving style, budget, and desired aesthetics. Stop by our Shawnee shop or call 913-291-2027.

All modern Ford Mustangs (2015 and newer S550/S650) use a 5x114.3 (5x4.5) bolt pattern with a 67.1mm hub bore. Earlier S197 models (2005-2014) also use 5x114.3. This is a very common bolt pattern shared with many import and domestic vehicles, which means you have a huge selection of aftermarket wheels to choose from. American Fusion Wheels stocks and orders wheels in 5x114.3 from over 85 brands.

Rubbing depends on wheel width, offset, and tire size. With proper fitment, aftermarket wheels should not rub. Our team checks every combination against known clearances for your specific Mustang — including Brembo brake caliper clearance on GT Performance Pack models, fender liner clearance, and suspension geometry. We recommend staying within tested offset ranges (typically +30 to +45mm for S550/S650) and will advise if fender modifications are needed for aggressive setups.

A complete wheel and tire package for a Mustang typically ranges from $1,200 to $5,000 or more depending on brand, size, and tire selection. Flow-formed wheels like Velgen or Project 6GR start around $1,200 for a set, while fully forged options from BC Forged or Forgestar range from $3,000 to $5,000+. Tire costs vary by brand — Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and Nitto NT555 are popular mid-to-premium choices. Financing is available to break your package into monthly payments. Call 913-291-2027 for a custom quote.

Yes. American Fusion Wheels has a Hunter Road Force Elite balancer — one of only two shops in the Kansas City metro with this technology. Road Force balancing is especially important for Mustangs with 19- and 20-inch wheels and low-profile performance tires, where even small force variations cause noticeable vibrations at highway speed. We include standard balancing with every installation and offer Road Force as an upgrade for the smoothest possible ride.

Yes, many Mustang owners run drag radials like the Nitto NT555R or Mickey Thompson ET Street R on the rear for improved traction at the strip while keeping street tires on the front. We can set up a drag pack with skinny front wheels (like a 17x4.5 Weld or Race Star) and wide rear wheels for dedicated drag use, or a street/strip compromise with drag radials on your daily wheels. Our team will ensure proper fitment and clearance for your specific Mustang. Call 913-291-2027 to discuss your setup.
