Default Another Wheels Thread

Would a 8.5" wheel with a 50mm offset fit?

Well, the stock wheel has a +52mm offset, but it's only 7" wide. Most places say that a +45mm is the most offset you can go with an 8.5" wheel, but if you're gonna run a 245 tire and roll your fenders, you might be okay.

I'm running a +35mm with 20X8.5 and they fit just fine....... No issues.... So don't see why a +50mm wouldn't fit....

That's about 3/4" more backspacing...what width tire are you running?

I was really hoping for a set of the new bullitt wheels, I guess I'm stuck with wheels off the SN95's and New Edge's.

The offset on S197 wheels seems to be way off for us. I know they won't fit on the last generation of mustangs either.

i dont really understand. these will fit and there 18x9. and as long as you dont lower the car theyll fit with a 255 is you lower it youll have to roll the rear. this is the wheel off of the newer stang not the sn95s or new edge. they come in a bunch of colors this is just the color i like and theyre *** cheap.

That's exactly what I want. How are you sure they'll fit?

Those have a much different offset than the ones I was looking at. Thanks!

Anthrasite or just plain silver mustang GT wheels. I love the TT style like everyone else lol. I really love the black chrome Boss 383s in the other thread but I really don't think I can afford them.

yeah i wanted a black one 2, but this is what the dealer had and the gto parked next to mine was a faggy aqua color with like 50000 miles and was like 3g more. i think i made the right choice. when you buyin those wheels? once you get them on there and get some pics up it might be easier to sell the woman on my need of yet another set of wheels.
