Default wheel fitment question

just browsing some wheels bored outta my mind and came across some 03 18" replicas in black that i think would look interesting.

sizes are:
4-18x9
Bolt Pattern : 5x4.5
Offset: 26 MM

i know that the new edge wheels fit but is there anything that is absolutely needed after installing the 99-04 size wheels? i know that some suspension parts are recommended but are they need right away?

sorry if the ?'s are stupid but i've just started looking at getting wheels by end of summer and never researched too much

thanks guys!

I think I have seen guys doing this, but this offset will set the wheels out about 1" further than 05-09 offsets of 50mm if I remember correctly. You might want to check if you will have rubbing issues, that would be my biggest worry. It will have a nice stance for sure if they fit without problems. You will need to lower the car to get the best look in my opinion. Oh and I would consider "staggered" wheels if you can, they look great on Mustangs! That is what I am currently looking for, just have not found the what I am looking for yet. Good luck!
