Default +24 Offset on 2005?

One of the mustang suppliers on the web has sold me some 17 x 9 Silver FR500's advertised for an 05 and up. They didn't disclose the offset upfront. When I got the wheels I was upset because they were a +24 offset. I called the company and they said that tons of people use these on 05 and newer stangs, for an aggressive look.

I went to have them installed and luckily before they did anything, I bolted one on. It looked like it was pretty much flush with the top of the fender. To me it looked like it would stick out too far...

If anyone could post a picture down the side of their 05 or newer with a 9" wide +24 offset that would be awesome. I like the wheels and think they will look great, but I don't want to get stuck with them after I mount them and find they look dumb.

Not really a picture along the side, but you can tell that they don't stick out.

Thanks, those help a lot. I guess the fact that there was no tire on there really made it look worse than it was!
