Getting ready to order rims
17x8
0mm offset
5x4.5" lug pattern
On the product listing he says "older Mustangs" but I didn't think knew what he was talking about. Our stock offset is 45mm but I know you can use 94-04 rims on these Mustangs, they'll just stick out further.
So will these fit okay?
Thanks!

45mm is insane offset to just lopp off. That adds 7% to the width of the car. It's also very damaging to your suspention, don't do it.

No. They will wack the geometry of your suspension. Get the right offset for you car.

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