Anyone else: Mustang track-day wheel size that clears big brakes

CanyonWeekend30Community StarterApr 2, 20262024 Ford Mustang GTLas Vegas
2024 Ford Mustang GT, about 62,000 miles. I want a dedicated wheel/tire setup for HPDE and would prefer more sidewall than the street setup. What's the right way to confirm barrel/spoke clearance around the larger brakes rather than relying only on diameter? Any data points from owners would help.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2024 Ford Mustang owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. Just my two cents from doing this recently. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Useful. I'll report back after I verify that on my 2024 Ford Mustang. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2024 Ford Mustang in Las Vegas, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “mustang track-day wheel size that clears big,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. That's my plan before I call anyone.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2024 Ford Mustang before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. I'll update if anything new shows up.

I parked the 2024 Ford Mustang and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.
