Default wheel/tire fitment for AM matte black bullit wheels

American Muscle is selling 18 inch matte black bullit wheels for both 99 to 04 and 05 to 10 Mustangs. My car is a 2005 Mustang GT.

I would like to go with a 18 x 10 inch wheel in the rear with a 305/40/18 Nitto NT555R drag radial tire. Ideally, I would like to have the wheel flushed with the fender. I am wondering if the wheel from the 99 to 04 will give me this look as opposed to the 05 to 10 wheel.

Here are the back spacing and off set specs for the 18 x 10 inch wheels:

99 to 04
back spacing: 6.3"
off set: +24mm

05 to 10
back spacing: 7.2"
off set: +45mm

Thanks for the input!

The +45 mm offset is what you want for a 10" rear wheel on an '05.

The +24 will stick way too far out and the fenders will rub on the tire

^He's correct. The +45 offset is perfect for 05+ Mustang's. It's just about flush, It's the perfect stance!

Let me know if I can be of any assistance!
