Default Re: New Rims?

The cool thing about buying rims that were original equipment on Mustangs is that you really don't have to worry about the offset. They were made to fit the Mustang! Mine are 17 X 9, my originals were 17 X 8, but the extra inch fills out the wheelwells really nicely, especially after lowering the car.

The lug spacing is the same on V6 and V8 cars too, so any wheel that came on a 94-04 will fit nicely on any Mustang 94-04, with the possible exception of putting some of the 94-95 14" rims on a GT, I think the brakes are bigger, but who would want to do that anyway?
