We are thinking of getting new wheels and tires for our '04, and are not sure what's gonna fit. I really like the all black Cobra style wheels (no rivets.) However I noticed there is something called offset. What does that mean? Right now we have the stock 16's on it, but we'd like to go to a staggered set of 18x9 and 18x10's, they look great on some of the newer Mustangs, will they even fit ours? Thanks for any help you can provide.

If you will go to the OE website and follow the links it will take you right to the wheels they have that will fit your 04. Once you see what you like talk to Lance or Shawn and less than a week later your ride will be looking good!! Then your wife WON'T let you drive it!! lol

The easiest thing for you to do is problaby call one of our sales technicians after you review the area that 98bluegt sent you to. Offset is just the measurement from the center of the wheel to the mounting plate. The truth is, we have done the work for you on getting the right offset, you just have to pick a style and call. We are also running deals on tires too. Some sets as low as 300 which includes mouting and road force balancing! Call one of our sales technicians and they will take care of you. 1-866-273-3651
so if I get the FR500 style wheels in the 18x9, and 18X10 do I have to buy an additional part in order for them to fit? It says there is a 22mm, and a 24mm offset, do I need a mounting plate? I've never really worried about wheels and tires, so this is all new to me. Thanks for the info so far. I'm about $350 away from getting what we want. We'll talk to you soon Lance.

The FR500s were made to fit perfectly on all 1994-2004 Mustangs. Every single wheel that we have in the 94-04 section of our website will fit a stock mustang of those years - perfectly - no modifications required. The only two suggestions I have would be to buy black lugs if you are getting a black wheel, buy shipping insurance for 9.60 and to give us the opportunity to qoute you on tires. We offer free mounting and road force balancing on our tire and wheel packages. Feel free to call one of our technicians, they are informative and they encourage you to shop around so you really know that we provide a great deal.
Thanks Lance! We will definitely give you a call, and for sure get a quote on a package deal. Thanks again.
