Rims for Ford Mustang 2007
Bolt pattern 5x114.3
Diameter: 16'' - 22'';
Width (inches): 7 - 9.5;
Offset (mm): 30 - 38.

The 2015 wheels are:
235/50 R18 8Jx18 ET30 5x114.3

So the offset is on the lower end, but they should fit. Has anyone tried them?

Also, would the TPMS sensors off the 2015 work with a 2007?

I grabbed my numbers from here:
http://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/mustang/2007/
http://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/mustang/2015/

You must have pulled that 30 - 38 range of offsets from some other page, because I'm seeing 45 - 48. And from the FRPP catalog, the 2007-era 18" wheels range in offset between +45 and +50.

+30 is really a SN95 offset. I know a lot of people run SN95 wheels on their S197, but SN95 offsets are not correct for the later car.

Thanks Norm.

I could have sworn I copied it straight from the page but I see what you are seeing now. They don't currently list the 16 inch option that the base v6's came on there anymore.

Ok, I will keep an eye out for bigger s197 lugs. Thanks.
