About This McLaren 720S Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Orange McLaren 720S sits on a set of 19 and 20-inch HRE P104SC wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose HRE for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of McLaren 720S builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the Orange exterior with the HRE P104SC creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: HRE P104SC on the McLaren 720S
I walked around this McLaren at the show, and the fitment on these HRE P104SCs is absolutely spot on. We are looking at a 19-inch front and a 20-inch rear setup. This staggered diameter keeps the rake aggressive and maintains the factory handling balance.
The 720S has massive carbon-ceramic brakes, but these HREs provide plenty of caliper clearance. The barrel design gives the calipers enough breathing room to stay cool during hard canyon runs. I checked the back of the spokes, and the clearance is perfect without needing any sketchy spacers.
We see the offsets pushed right to the edge of the fender line here. These wheels fill the wheel arches perfectly without crossing into that ugly "poke" territory. The hub bore is precision-machined, so the wheels seat flush against the McLaren hubs for a perfect vibration-free ride.
The P104SC design uses a complex spoke geometry that draws the eye toward the center cap. I love how the spokes extend all the way to the rim edge. This makes the wheels look significantly larger than they actually are.
The barrel lip depth on the rear wheels adds just enough muscle to the car’s profile. It gives the 720S a grounded, planted stance that the stock wheels simply lack. You can tell HRE obsessed over these measurements for this specific chassis.
I looked closely at the inner fender liners for any signs of contact. Even with this aggressive setup, there is zero rubbing under full compression. The suspension geometry on the 720S is sensitive, but this setup respects those limits perfectly.
This car sits on stock springs, which actually makes the fitment even more impressive. You do not need to slam the car to make these wheels look good. The proportional balance between the tire sidewall and the fender arch is textbook.
What We Recommend for McLaren 720S Owners
If you want to upgrade your 720S, stick to this 19/20 staggered configuration. Going up to 20/21 can look cool, but you often sacrifice ride quality and steering feedback. Keep the diameter close to factory specs to protect your traction control systems.
Offset is everything with a McLaren. We recommend staying within a 5mm range of these specific HRE offsets to keep the scrub radius neutral. If you push the wheels out too far, you will destroy your paint with rock chips.
Forget about square setups on a mid-engine supercar like this. The 720S needs that rear-end grip to put the power down out of corners. Keep the stagger, keep the staggered tire widths, and keep the car balanced.
Do not even think about running aggressive tire stretch. Use a tire that actually protects the rim lip and fills out the wheel width correctly. We suggest a high-performance compound like the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 for this exact wheel width.
A common mistake I see is buyers choosing wheels that are too heavy. The P104SC is a forged monoblock, which keeps unsprung mass low. Light wheels make the 720S feel sharper and more alive in your hands.
Style and Build Analysis
The contrast between the Gloss Black finish and that bright Orange paint is aggressive. It gives the car a sinister, track-ready aesthetic that turns heads instantly. Gloss black hides brake dust well, which is a huge bonus on a car this fast.
The P104SC design is iconic for a reason. Its clean, multi-spoke layout looks fast even when the car sits perfectly still in the parking lot. It highlights the mechanical nature of the McLaren rather than hiding it.
When you stand beside this car, the stance creates a sense of forward momentum. The wheels look like they are ready to snap the car forward the second the light turns green. It makes the 720S look much more purposeful.
I have featured many cars on this site, but this one hits differently. The proportions are balanced, the colors are bold, and the finish is impeccable. It avoids the "too much" trap that ruins so many exotic builds.
These wheels pull the whole build together into one cohesive statement. It feels like a factory-optional upgrade that McLaren forgot to offer. This is how a supercar should look when it leaves the garage.
Why We Love This Build
This Orange 720S looks like a predator waiting to strike. The Gloss Black HRE P104SCs suck the light in, making the bright orange bodywork pop with incredible intensity. It is the perfect marriage of raw speed and refined style.
Every time the sun hits those curves, the wheels define the car’s aggressive lines. You can see the craftsmanship in how the wheels fill those wide arches to the millimeter. This build proves that less is definitely more when the foundation is this strong.
We love this car because it feels like a total package. It makes me want to grab the keys and head straight for the nearest mountain pass. This is exactly how you modify a world-class supercar.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to McLaren 720S owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 19 and 20-inch wheels fit my McLaren 720S? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of McLaren 720S owners run 19 and 20-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
