Default Looking at wheels...need some help!

Hey guys,

I'm currently looking for some 18x9 wheels. The two I have my eyes on the most are the black new edge saleen style wheels and DD black bullitts. I would love to get the saleen style wheels. I'm afraid that ifI were to buy the saleen style wheels they would not fit correctly because of their 24mm offset as opposed to the 34mm offset that the DD wheels have.I know that some on this board have wheels that are not made with the same offset as 34mm. My question is what would I have to do in order to make the saleen wheel fit "right" on my stang?

Any help would be appreciated!

I don't think you'll be able to get them to look right, they will stick out a little. I would look around a little more for the Saleen wheels, I think there is a company that makes them in the correct offset for our cars. Your car would look great with the all black wheels.
