Wheels, Help me
Im looking into putting some wheels on the stang in the near future, What are some things I need to be aware of and what do I need to look for. Its an 07 so I have them damn tpms's. Im assuming I cant use the ones off my 17's and put them on the new wheels unless I bought another set of 17's. Im wanting to go with the staggered look. Is there any benifit to having 20's over 18's. I have heard that 20in tires are cheaper than the 18's. I know that the 20's are gonna weigh alot more aswell and possibly change the ride quality too. Where are some good places to buy wheels? Im wanting to run 18x10's in the rear so whats the largest tire I can run out back? and finally where did you guys get yours and if you post, post some pics of the wheels your running or thinking about getting. I am having to look online because my local wheel place sucks and can only get certain things. Side note I drive an alloy and I was thinking on chrome, the wheels will prolly be the only thing that not the same color as the body.... I know us alloy guys have a certain standard to uphold so we cant just put any ol wheel on our cars. LOL Would chrome look good on this color??? I personally think it would but I have read on the forums before that the alloy can only pull off certain wheels with out it looking trashy !!!! any help would be great

For purchasing make sure they are for 05+ Mustangs. older ones fit, but offset is different and look a little odd on a S197, in my opinion.
Cruizin Concepts has good deals, as also American muscle. They are both site sponsors. you can pm AMEmilie from american muscle for a discount code, and mike at cruizin concepts on the forum also willing to make great deals.
If you re going for the staggard look I would recommend for the front 18x9 with a 255/45/18
And for the rear 18x10 and a 285/40/18.
Now for the choice of style/color, your on your own, lol.
My new wheels are due in tomorrow

Check my photobucket link, running 18X10 back with 275/40 and 18X9 front with 255/45, I think 20s" look a little better but it really depends on what you're into ride quality and extra weight on the wheels or show. As for what color not really sure what would look best on alloy, although there are some amazing looking alloy stangs on this forum that I'm sure can be of more help then me. Good luck alloy is a tuff color to get right IMO.
