I am purchasing a 2012 Mustang and want to upgrade the tires and wheels to those listed above (Staggered Black GT Premium Wheel & Sumitomo Tire Kit - 19x8.5/10 (10-12) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!). The car itself comes stock with 18 in. tires, but, I am wanting to upgrade to the 19x8.5/10 staggered option. Is there going to be any issue with backspacing or rubbing by going to this larger size? Also, is it absolutely mandatory to get the tire pressure monitoring system installed (I was reading that if you do not, then an error light will be visible)...is that correct? Thanks for any feedback.

Most likely no issues, but to be sure just call american muscle. Their customer service is pretty good, so it's worth a shot imo. And if you got stock 18" wheels, I can venture to guess you're not getting the brembo brakes, so you shouldn't have to worry aboot caliper clearance issues. (the front wheels barely clear the calipers on mine, which has the brake package). And as far as the TPMS, I'd get it for the simple fact it would irritate the piss out of me to see that light on (which it will be on) constantly. Anyways, give em a call, they'll help out I'm sure. And early congratz on the new Stang!
