RE: 25 mm offset vs. 45 mm offset
How do the wheels line up with the fender? If they do fit, they obviously will stick further out than stock, but I don't want them out from the fender. Can you describe the look on that GT you saw and whether you liked it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

They will fit. Here's a pic of 17x9's with a 24mm offset on mine. I have M/T ET Street's mounted on them.

Would the claim on e-bay be fraudulent then saying that they fit? If not, I will have to ship them back (expensive) and pay a $35 restocking fee. If it is fraudulent, then I should be able to get all my money back without having to pay for the shipping or restocking fee.

RE: 25mm offset vs. 45 mm offset
I have a 2005 GT that I put new 95 Cobra R 17X9 Chrome wheels with 24MM offset.Running 275/50-17 Nitto 450's on all four corners.The fronts tires are just barely sticking out from the fender well.The rears stick out just a little bit more.But as stated on previous posts the molded splach guards will help conciderably.I have ordered them from the Ford dealer.I will tell you that EVERYONE that has looked at this setup says that is an AWESOME looking car.Was thinking of lowering springs but not so sure now.Looks really mean.I know wheres the pictures.They are on my home PC I will post tonight front and side fews..Bottom line is do what you think makes you feel good.Offsets are not a problem.No tire rub NO issues at all.

My tires are being put on the rims as we speak. I have to go back and have them put the things on the car, so I will post back in about 2 hours or so when I can get over, get them on, get home, and get on the internet. This is assuming they fit. So...if you don't hear from me, send help to Discount Tire as I will have officially 'gone postal'.

Tires are on!!! And the wheels too!!! They fit, stick out further than stock, but make the car look real tough, especially from behind, which needed a little beefing up. I will find a camera and upload some pics as they look awesome! [sm=Flahssssss.gif]
