S550 Shelby GT350 & GT350R Wheels
The GT350 is not a trim. It’s a purpose-built platform with a 526hp flat-plane V8, track-tuned suspension geometry, and one of the most demanding wheel fitment profiles in the Mustang lineup. Whether you’re running the GT350’s staggered setup on the street or building the GT350R for track days, every wheel decision starts with getting the R-spec fitment right.

Fitment Requirements
Find Your GT350 Fitment
The GT350 and GT350R share a chassis but run different OEM wheel specs. The GT350R’s factory carbon fiber wheels run a wider front and a more aggressive rear offset than the base GT350, and those differences carry directly into aftermarket sizing. Knowing which spec you’re starting from is the first step.
Factory Specs
S550 GT350 + GT350R OEM Fitment
The GT350 and GT350R share a platform but leave the factory on different wheel specs. The GT350 runs a narrower 10.5″ front wheel at +30 offset, paired with a 11″ rear at +62; a setup tuned for street balance on a 295/305 tire split. The GT350R steps everything up: 11″ front at +24, 11.5″ rear at +56, running 305/315 rubber on the factory carbon fiber wheels that Ford spent years engineering specifically for this chassis. Both run 5×114.3 with a 70.6mm hub bore. The specs are not interchangeable. Knowing which variant you have is the starting point for any wheel decision.

S550 GT350 + GT350R Wheel Fitment Guide
Every Project 6GR fitment for the GT350 and GT350R is built around the R-spec geometry: 19×11 +24 front and 19×11.5 +56 rear, which mirrors the GT350R’s factory offset profile and works on both variants without modification. From there, the setup splits two ways: staggered for street builds that want proportional stance and a wider rear contact patch, and square for track use where four matching tires can be rotated corner to corner to balance wear. The square rotatable setup requires a 25mm hub-centric spacer at the front. 20″ options are available in the same R-spec offset pairing for owners who want the plus-size profile on street builds.

Note: Square track setups run a 25mm hub-centric spacer in the front. This allows owners to rotate the wheel and tire front-to-rear as needed without unmounting and remounting the tires.
Staggered vs Square
19" Rotatable Track Setup
The rotatable square setup starts with a specific constraint: you cannot run a +24 front wheel at the rear. The offset is wrong for that position, so swapping corners for tire rotation isn’t possible with the staggered setup. The solution is to build the entire set around +50 (the correct offset for the rear) and use a 25mm hub-centric spacer at the front to bring each front wheel to the right track width position. The result is four identical wheels that can be moved to any corner without remounting tires, which is the entire point on a track car.
The spacer is not a workaround. It is the functional requirement that makes rotation possible. It must be hub-centric to 70.6mm and not a bolt-on adapter which does not replicate the centering function and introduces vibration at speed. With the correct hardware in place, this is the most cost-effective track setup for GT350/GT350R owners running serious tire mileage. Rotating at 5,000 to 7,000 mile intervals across all four corners extends a set of track tires well beyond what a fixed staggered position allows.
Verified Suspension
GT350 / GT350R Lowering Springs and Wheel Fitment
Project 6GR wheels are engineered to run clean on lowered GT350 builds. The 5×114.3 bolt pattern, 70.6mm center bore, and offset specs do not change with suspension height. What changes is tire clearance at full compression and your alignment, both of which are manageable with the right setup.
Drops up to 1.25″ are straightforward. Push past that and camber correction becomes necessary. A proper alignment is non-negotiable after any spring swap.
| Brand | Best For | Typical Drop | Notes |

Wheel Collection
Project 6GR Wheels for the GT350 / GT350R
Every wheel in the Project 6GR lineup is available in GT350-specific sizing: 19×11 front with +24 or +50 offset, 20×11.5 rear with +56 offset. Spun forged construction starts at the TEN, TEN-D, FIVE, and SEVEN. Full monoblock forged machined from a single 6061-T6 aerospace billet is available as a custom order for owners who want improved weight savings and strength.
Unsprung Weight Savings
Unsprung Weight and the GT350 Platform
The GT350 was engineered from the factory around a weight reduction philosophy. Ford’s flat-plane V8 saved 12 lbs over a cross-plane motor. The GT350R’s carbon fiber wheels saved roughly 60 lbs over the base GT350’s aluminum set; Ford called it one of the most impactful performance upgrades on the car. Aftermarket forged wheels follow that same logic.
Unsprung weight is the mass your suspension manages rather than supports: wheels, tires, brake rotors, calipers, and the outer portion of the driveshaft. Unlike body weight, it cannot be partially isolated from the road surface. Every bump, crack, and corner change moves that mass directly, and the suspension has to react to all of it. Reducing it improves steering response, shortens braking distances, and reduces fatigue on every rotating component in the drivetrain.
Rotational mass compounds the effect. A spinning wheel resists both acceleration and deceleration. The heavier it is, the more energy is required to change its speed in either direction. On a track-focused platform making 526hp, the difference between a 27 lb wheel and a 24 lb wheel is not marginal when multiplied across 400 corners in a session.
One pound removed from a wheel or tire assembly delivers the equivalent handling benefit of removing 2 to 4 pounds from the vehicle’s sprung mass. The suspension no longer has to work as hard to control that corner’s behavior under load.

| GT350 OEM | 19x10.5 / 19x11 (cast aluminum) | ~28–29 lb | Baseline |

What the Numbers Look Like on the GT350 / GT350R
A note on the GT350R carbon fiber wheels: The OEM CF wheels are exceptional. Ford spent years validating them and the weight figures are real. Project 6GR spun forged wheels do not match that weight in aluminum. What they offer instead is finish customization, TPMS compatibility without proprietary adapters, a full structural warranty, and replacement availability. For owners who have worn, damaged, or simply want to style their GT350R differently, the TEN is the closest performance alternative at a fraction of the replacement cost.

The Difference
Why GT350 / GT350R Owners Run Project 6GR
Chassis-Specific Development
The S550 GT350 / GT350R is not an afterthought in the catalog. Every offset, every width, and every clearance spec is developed for this platform. Project 6GR fitments are tested on real GT500 builds, not approximated from a generic sizing chart.
Engineering Standards
Monoblock Forged wheels are machined from a single 6061-T6 aluminum billet. Spun Forged uses a flow formed barrel process that compresses and aligns the aluminum grain structure under heat and pressure. Both constructions exceed the load ratings of every GT350 application, including track use.
Brembo Brake Clearance
The GT350's six-piston front Brembo calipers are a known clearance challenge for aftermarket fitments. Every P6GR R-spec size has been verified to clear the factory caliper with zero modification required.
Hub Centric. No Rings.
Every P6GR wheel is machined to 70.6mm, the GT350's exact hub bore. Slip it on, torque it down. No hub-centric rings, no centering shims, no vibration at highway speed from a wheel that doesn't seat properly.
Common Questions
Shelby GT350 / GT350R Wheel FAQ
The GT350 runs 19x10.5 +30 front and 19x11 +62 rear from the factory. Most aftermarket upgrades step up to the GT350R-spec sizing — 19x11 +24 front and 19x11.5 +56 rear — which is wider and deeper concave. This is the R-spec fitment that Project 6GR's GT350 / GT350R lineup is built around.
The GT350 runs a narrower 10.5" front wheel at +30 offset. The GT350R runs an 11" front at +24 and a 11.5" rear at +56, with the factory carbon fiber wheels built specifically to that geometry. The R-spec sizing is wider, more aggressive in concavity, and the standard starting point for any serious GT350 wheel upgrade.
A rotatable square setup runs the same wheel and tire size at all four corners — typically 19x11 +50 with 305/30/19 or 315/30/19 all around. Because all four wheels are identical, tires can be rotated corner to corner to balance wear without remounting. A 25mm hub-centric spacer is used at the front to bring the +50 wheel to the correct position. This is the most cost-effective track setup for GT350 owners who put serious mileage on their tires.
Yes — a 25mm hub-centric spacer is required at the front when running +50 offset wheels at all four corners. The spacer must be hub-centric to 70.6mm. Standard bolt-on adapters are not a substitute. The rear runs the +50 wheel with no modification required.
Properly sized aftermarket wheels do, but not all fitments do. The GT350 runs a six-piston Brembo front caliper that creates a clearance challenge for many wheel designs. Every Project 6GR R-spec fitment — 19x11 +24 front and 19x11.5 +56 rear — has been verified to clear the factory caliper with zero modification.
The GT350 and GT350R run a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 70.6mm hub bore. All Project 6GR R-spec wheels are machined to 70.6mm hub-centric — no centering rings required.
Yes. Project 6GR offers 20" fitments in R-spec sizing — 20x11 +24 front and 20x11.5 +56 rear — with tire options ranging from 295/30/20 to 315/30/20. The GT350 community predominantly stays with 19" to preserve the car's handling balance and factory suspension geometry, but 20" is fully compatible and runs cleanly on street builds.
The GT350R's factory carbon fiber wheels use a wheel pad that results in extended front studs. When switching to aftermarket wheels, those extended studs require open-ended lug nuts rather than standard closed-end hardware. This is a straightforward swap, but it is something to account for before mounting. Rear studs are standard length.
The OEM GT350R carbon fiber wheels are approximately 18 lbs each — lighter than any aluminum forged wheel at equivalent sizing. P6GR's TEN in R-spec comes in at 24.20 lbs front and 23.35 lbs rear, which is heavier than carbon fiber but lighter than most aluminum alternatives. The advantages P6GR offers over OEM CF replacements are finish options, full TPMS compatibility without proprietary adapters, structural warranty coverage, and far lower replacement cost when a wheel is damaged.
The most common street combination is 305/30/19 front and 315/30/19 rear in the staggered setup, which gives a 10mm wider rear contact patch. Some owners run 325/30/19 at the rear for additional grip. The square track setup typically runs 305/30/19 or 315/30/19 all around — the square footprint is more important than the specific width for rotation purposes.
