RE: Getting ready to order rims
So you asked the forums if they would fit okay, and every answer is "no" or "I wouldn't try it," but 6 hours later you order them. What was the point of this thread?
I hope it works out and I'd like to see pictures when you get them on.

They are going to stick out a little too much imo.

I honestly didn't realize that you guys decided what mods I do on my car.
Well, I wanted to see what people would say. I've had positive response to these in other threads, but heres a good example of negative response. I think it'll look great, and once I get them and put them on I'll be sure to post pictures.

What wheels are you looking at? Why 17x8? You already have 17x8's. Doesn't seem like much of an upgrade.

Just switching from the +45mm S197's have to a +22mm the SN95's have most of the cases make the wheels look bad because they stick out and thats a 23mm difference, can't imagine the 45mm difference !
just sharing my thoughts.

RE: Getting ready to order rims
I do understand the drastic difference but I think it will turn out to look good and the handling I'm not concerned about.
And I never said I wasn't prepared for your answer, but theres no need to act put off when I decide to lay $800 down on my car. The only reason I got sarcastic with a couple of you was because you certainly thought I was a real loony to buy these just because you guys said you didn't like them. [>:] The point of this thread? To get your opinion, and I got it. Then the ++++11111 flood started and I was just thinking jeez if its that terrible be glad your not the unfortunate guy who will have to deal with this 'terrible wheel atrocity.' And like I said, I'm truly not trying to be a loser here, but theres definetly people on this board that need to keep in mind that each persons Mustang is just that - their Mustang. Ok, so now that I'm done making drama,
I'll post pics once they get here.
When I pulled off my tires and rims today I set them up in the position that they would be with the new offset and it looked pretty good.
