Default how do you know certain rims fit?

The question says it all. How do you know if certain rims will fit on the Mustang? Because im thinking of getting the Ford GT BBS rims if I can get my hands on them for a good price. The front are 18 inchers and the rear are 19 inchers. Will that affect the suspension or handling of the car? Maybe I can get 19's all around hopefully.

I found the specs for the rims. Based on the rim offset or specs can they fit onto our stangs?

all dependent. Like with my car I have big brakes and not all 18" rims will work. I went with Steeda since they know what they are doing and would have the correct offset etc. Dont think it is a huge issue if you know the correct offset and dont buy them from some morons that have no clue. Most places should have sold quite a few rims for Mustangs.
