Forgestar F14 Beadlock Rear Wheel Setup for a 2023 Mustang GT
The 2023 Mustang GT is already a strong performance platform, but John’s build takes things to a much higher level. With a Stage 2 Whipple supercharger, supporting suspension upgrades, long tube headers, and drivetrain upgrades, this Mustang is built with serious performance in mind.
Our customer John has his 2023 Mustang GT running Forgestar F14 Beadlock rear wheels in satin black, paired with a 305/45R17 rear tire setup. Up front, the car is running Apex front wheels with 275/35R19 tires, giving the car a clean street setup in the front and a serious traction-focused rear package out back.
With the combination of Whipple power, suspension upgrades, and beadlock rear wheels, John’s Mustang has the stance and supporting parts to match the performance of the build.

Why Choose the Forgestar F14 Beadlock for a 2023 Mustang GT?

- 17x10 Rear Beadlock Setup – The 17x10 rear wheel gives the car a serious performance look and provides a strong foundation for a 305/45R17 rear tire.
- Satin Black Finish – The satin black Forgestar F14 Beadlock gives the car a clean, aggressive appearance without being too flashy.

A Serious Street/Strip Setup for the 2023 Mustang GT
The S550 Mustang platform responds extremely well to power upgrades, and John’s 2023 Mustang GT is a great example of a build where the supporting parts matter just as much as the power adder.
The Stage 2 Whipple supercharger gives the car serious power potential, while the Kooks 1 7/8” long tube headers help support the performance side of the build. To help put that power down, John added 17x10 Forgestar F14 Beadlock rear wheels with a 305/45R17 rear tire setup.
The suspension and drivetrain upgrades also play a major role. The Steeda Stop The Hop Ultimate Kit helps address rear suspension movement, while the Pedders Extreme Adjustable Coilovers allow the suspension to be dialed in more precisely. The DSS Carbon Fiber Driveshaft adds another serious supporting upgrade to the package.
Together, these parts create a Mustang GT that is built to look aggressive, make power, and put that power to the ground.
