Default Will these fit?

Hey all,
I have a 08 Grabber orange GT and looking at black rims for it cause I think it will look really good. But I want to slap the widest I can get on the rear without modding. So these are what I am looking at for rears:
http://www.wheelhq.com/17x105-mustan...lit-wheel.html

wondering if anyone knows if they will fit? Will probably grab same model for front, but in a 8 or 9 instead of 10.5

Any help would be great, and thank you.

Will they fit? Yea they'll fit. Will they fit correctly? Nope! offset is way off for 10.5" wheel. You need to be in the 40's to get the wheel flush with the fender.

thank you for a much more informed response ;-) I assumed when I said "fit" people would understand I would want it to fit inside the body panels... You know of any similar looking rims that will fit properly?

They don't make 17x10's in our offset as far as I know. They make them in 18's for our cars and there easily enough to find.

Check here;

I ran 18x10's with 295/45's on the rear and I've seen some 305/45's stuffed back there on 18x10's.Unless your dead set on 17's the 18's will fit really nice.I had absolutely no clearance issues with these wheels and they fit inside the wheels wells with it lowered.

@ Revfly

http://cruizinconceptswholesale.com/...CK18X10&cat=17

those are similar to what I am looking for, but they dont list the offset... if they dont list it I am likly to belive there prob 28 mm like most others.

@ 08machGT
Looked at most those places, the thing is I want a 17 x 10+ and from what I have been reading, and others have said, to get proper fit on these I would need close to 40mm offset. only found 17 x 9s @ 38 so far, no luck on x 10+ yet. only for older body styles and in a 28mm offset
