Hey guys, i will be ordering Forgeline 18'' wheels.

Any of you guys with MK4 with wilwood front brakes and the 2015 IRS wilwood 12.88 brakes ?

I need the mesure of 3-4-5-6 of front and rear.

I was thinking the same size and offset as FFR. I will be tracking the car, think they will rub up front ? they seem to be agressif.

18x9 +24
18x11+12

thanks !!

I have the combination you're describing under construction. I believe these are reasonably accurate measurements:

Front:
3 = .78"
4 = 7.25"
5 = 2.78"
6 = .45" (plus usual Ford dust cap)

Rear:
3 = .28"
4 = 7.25"
5 = 2.78"
6 = .43" (plus slightly more at center where end of CV axle protrudes)

I'm using the FFR 18" Halibrand style replica wheels. The brakes easily clear the wheels.

You're welcome of course. The front hubs supplied by FFR are 1/2-20 RH out of the box. The 2015 Mustang IRS hubs are something else (not sure what size...) but FFR supplies a new set of 1/2-20 RH studs to replace them.
